Thanks, Bill. I have forgotten what the RCC stands for. I know it was mentioned earlier. Also, is the reason the Milligans and the Griersons aren't on this chart because they didn't test enough M222 people to make a cluster? Those are the ones closest to my lines, especially Milligan.

Allene, This is a work still in progress. In the final paper we may analyze different surnames. But the analysis of the ones that John posted are within the ball park with respect to their RCCs and times. Sorry we cannot include more. When more get tested it will be easier. - Bye from Bill Howard On May 30, 2011, at 9:38 PM, Allene Goforth wrote: > Thanks, Bill. I have forgotten what the RCC stands for.
