One last thing for now...The Y-SNPs I had tested at 23andme and those Don
had tested for the Genographic Project did not include Z284, the "parent"
SNP of L448, the "Young Scandinavian." I haven't checked on it to be sure,
but I think the lack of it may be the reason we're listed at ftdna as
R1a1a1 rather than as R1a1a1b1a3a. It's really rather academic, but I
ordered a Z284 test a couple of weeks, if only to satisfy my personal
curiosity.
We're group CF01. Don is kit #N3690 and I'm #57597:

Sorry if this SNP talk is Greek to many of you. As always, I'd be happy to
answer any questions.
(Incidentally, I gave a three hour seminar on genetic genealogy last week.
There were only six people there but it was a *lot* of fun.)
