DAn et al, my Y-search and mito-search ID is B88NP. I'm R1b1c paternally (with a Scotland signature and Dal Riadic connections) and I maternally (with Nordic and Nordic-Celtic connections). I have 22 matches on my Y-DNA, but none at 67 markers yet as the database only has a small sampling of 67marker data. I have half a dozen or so 37-marker matches. My mDNA matches 222 on HRV-1 analysis with no matches for HRV-1 and HRV-2 analysis.
