If you take a closer look at your markers for those which vary from the R1b modal and ignore some that may be "faster" moving and/or vary dramatically from the modal thus pushing out some matches when left in, you may reveal some additional matches. For the few that you have found, are they all with the same surname or something different? Have you tried making manual comparisons in SMGF or ancestry.com for other potential matches? Or surname projects - both yours and those of the matches you do have? On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 9:21 PM, Fredric Z.
