Now that Dr Krahn has been able to cover so many more sites in his WTY, coupled with the apparent deep time separation of 7e from other branches of Z58- Z63- Z131-, yet the young age of 7e MRCA, you have a decent chance of finding a snp for 7e. I'd pick the most "normal" or central 7e haplotype that you can if you proceed with this WTY. Good luck, Ken ************************************ Thank you--that's encouraging--please correct me if I am wrong, but I take most normal to mean closest to your modal which would be Childers or another member of the set within AS7E which appears to be related to Childers within genealogical time. If Childers is the best candidate, I might be able to persuade the family to pay to test one member since there are probably at least 50 men who have already been tested. If all contribute, the individual cost would be negligible and the payoff, if we find something, enormous. Lindsey

Childers is a modal or "normal" 7e. And as you point out, with such a huge family of paticipants, they can share the cost for modest per individual amounts. -----Original Message----- From: Lplantagenet Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2012 11:46 AM To: y-dna-haplogroup-i@rootsweb.com Subject: [yDNAhgI] •Re: Question about WTY Now that Dr Krahn has been able to cover so many more sites in his WTY, coupled with the apparent deep time separation of 7e from other branches of Z58- Z63- Z131-, yet the young age of 7e MRCA, you have a decent chance of finding a snp for 7e.
