A lot of researchers keep tabs on the various haplogroup projects. We have a couple looking at R-P312(S116) and its subclades. Please encourage your deep clade tested project members to update their MDKA incestor info as best they can and to join the appropriate haplogroup projects. Below is a note for P312 specifically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We have a lot of people in the R-P312(S116) Y DNA family that have deep clade tested. We can learn a lot more about this group by reviewing and evaluating the haplotype data within the context of the subclades as well as within the total P312 umbrella. I can easily download data from FTDNA project screens and do various calculations like diversity, variance, GD mins & maxs, etc by geography once I get the data reformatted. I've already done this for R-L21* folks an R-M222 folks. Please help and encourage R-P312(S116) and related sub-clade tested people to update their Most Distant Ancestor Info (MDKA) to include the proper surname, country, county/shire and nearest city/village information. For FTDNA people this is PATERNAL SIDE data entry cell on the USER PREFERENCES screen. Example: John Doe, b.1868, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Wales. Please also encourage the P-312 folks to join the proper haplogroup projects. All R-P312(S116) subclades and R-P312*: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/atlantic-r1b1c/default.aspx?
