I just joined this group after finding out via the Genographic Project that I'm in Haplogroup Q - M242. The mystery comes from the fact that my father, who...
Hello Jim, Do you suppose you could upload your results to Ysearch from within your Family Tree DNA page and post the 5-digit Ysearch account number here? This...
