I have never played around with the various TMRCA calculators, because their results conflict too much with known history. I know "DNA does not lie" but,...
A "rule of thumb" is not probably that useful past several centuries back. Probably, we should look at the sum of the variance for the 50 non-multicopy,...
Paul, I'm not saying you need to go with this method or these numbers, but here is one perspective. We have over 2000 67 length R-L21 haplotypes and a number...

I'm not sure of your exact context with the statement below. For sure, just counting STR increment steps is over-simplifying things. I do want to clarify that...
I was writing about Paul's method, which I don't think has a built-in correction for back mutations. I'm not sure what you mean to say by stating that there is...

Mike, Can you share a link or links to the posts about these discussions? I would like to find out whether they are using Generations 5 or another slightly...
For general information, here are Klyosov's estimates. Klyosov’s Calculations for 67 markers: 10 mutations 925+/-300ybp 1085 AD 9 825+/-290ybp 1185 AD 8...
John said, "Paul or others could fill in details on the O'Byrnes and their split with the Kavanagh/Kinsella line." Barring NPEs (and I am beginning to think...
Paul, you're looking at about the same time frame as the Ui Neill in Ireland (c. 400 AD) for the divergence of major lines then. If what we see in the M222...
Craig, The Beatty Project at FTDNA is rather large. About 75% of the men tested fall into a family group (more than 100 men). We call this group "Group 01", ...
Thanks so much for you help on this, Earl. Our Gaston ancestor very likely lived in Scotland in the early to mid 1600s. Before that, we only have our Huguenot...
Good morning! (or afternoon or evening) Check out the new ISOGG tree. L159.2 has been added under L21. That's something I wasn't expecting to happen this...
Should we let Rich know that he may be seeing an influx of men with L159+ results? He commented recently that it is difficult to keep up with L159+ results...
Hi All, Just wanted to make sure that all of you know about this in time to benefit. You don't have to be on Facebook to use the coupon. The coupon code is...
Back when we were discussing the selection of our first member to sponsor as a participant of the WTY program, we considered quite a few candidates, and we...
I agree with Kirsten’s assessments that we should try for 2 additional WTY tests while this sale is on. I have lately put some effort into developing a basis...
Earl, you have done a very good job of explaining why Peter is an excellent candidate for WTY testing to learn more about the BBC. There are other interesting...
Last night around 10:30 someone posted on the International Society of Genetic Genealogy list for project administrators that the WTY sale had ended yesterday...
Hi Kirstan That is confirmed and I am awaiting a Test Kit to arrive. I assume that to get the discount we need to pay via your L21 WTY group at FTDNA that I...
Hi Kirsten Checked your link for your $500 cost for WTY. The following link is still active at: http://www.familytreedna.com/walk-y-application.aspx But there...
Hi Peter I received an email from FTDNA announcing the sale and sale price of $500. Friday night I saw a post on the ISOGG Administrators list that the sale...
Jim Long responded very quickly to the post I made last Wednesday about sponsoring another one or two participants in the Walk Through the Y program, making a...
Hi Kirsten Thats good news about funding. However, when I applied for the test after being prompted by Earl I committed to him my contribution of £100.00...
Hi Peter Thank you! That is a very generous pledge. Of course we can't say exactly what the conversion would be, but according to the x-rates currency...
I want to thank John Walden for his generous donation to our general fund in memory of his beloved wife Mickey Walden, who passed away on January 14th from the...
