New R-L165 Category at the R-P312 and Subclades Project

[Lori McLeod Wilke]

Hello, 

Wanted to let you know that an R-L165/S68 Project has been started (in January 2011) at FTDNA.  Here's the link:

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R-L165Project/default.aspx?section=ycolorized

We're still setting up and recruiting possibles......We're seeing what appear to be clusters i.e. the Black Sub-Group of MacDonald with MacNeils of Barra and Buies of Jura....we have ordered tests for a Buie and and are hoping for a MacNeil to test as well.

7 MacLeods have tested positive out of the 58 who share a common haplotype and one more is awaiting his results.

Thanks all.

Thank you for setting up the project.  Just to make sure I have it right, people in the first few categories (immediately below) are likely suspects but have not been tested for L165 yet, right?

Beall - L165 Test Recommended - See NEWS page for additional information)
C1 -Black Sub-Group of MacDonald - See News Page for additional information
C1-Buie of Jura TESTING (Genetic Match to Black Sub-Group of MacDonald)
C2 MacNeil (Genetic Match to the MacLeod Haplotype)
C2a-MacLeod Group - See News Page for additional information

There's a new R-L165 guy this evening: Bronson, kit 170048, Ysearch WZ86Z, ancestry in England.

Thank you!

Contacted  Brunson/Brownson who has now joined the L165 project - BUT, the results show L176.2 negative!  Contacting FTDNA to see what's up.  Will keep you informed.

Also have several more of our members receiving positive results - still waiting on the Buie result sent back in February.  All of our others who ordered test AFTER him have all received their results....strange.

That's weird. I didn't catch that last night when I spotted the L165+ result.

We got it cleared up today - L176.2 reporting is done manually - it was a mistake.  Brownson is positive for L176.2~

Very good. Glad that's out of the way.
