Hi Lindsey, If I recall correctly, I am told that my M253 results should be reported in the next two to four weeks. According to the FTDNA Admin FB page, they appear to be working on nothing else at the moment (such as Y-STR's, etc.). So, tell me, should I be expecting a longer wait time?  - Dave Hamm RE: On 10/18/2017 3:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Not so odd--numbers matter, and there are probably more R1bs than R1as in FTDNA's database.
