Larry, There are 150 who are doing the Big Y as of yesterday so that is a small percentage of the total Y dna 37, 67 and 111 participants in the world. There are participants from several countries and Y dna results from several other companies are being used to analyze the Big Y results. It will take another few months to really determine the worth of the Big Y dna test. There were 12 participants in the first batch which is too few to draw good conclusions as to our ancestors locations and kin 2,000 to 4,000 years ago. I did the Big Y for the benefit of all Kincaid's as well as for my descendants and my personal satisfaction of knowing more about my ancestors. We are fortunate that the U-107 dna group has several deep thinkers and do'ers like Peter and they are already putting together analytical spreadsheets and using new tools in getting ready for the other Big Y results. Peter is doing a great job of siftingand sorting my SNP results, analyzing and comparing them. In the meantime your approach looks good however there will be many new SNP's come into play for you in time.

Are we really going to have to get used to such a large number of potential differences? I think I'll follow some of the earlier advice and watch which way the branches blow . . . uh . . . follow where my snp's are going and try to get tested just for those as they become known and better understood. I'm currently on the SNP branch that goes from L21 - L1335 - L1065, and now waiting for the only new SNP offered for $39 by FTDNA, S691/Z13851, which looks like it's going down the branch occupied further down by a subset of MacGregors and perhaps some other related surnames from the same area in Scotland.
