Tomorrow! Tomorrow!...let's all sing it...To-morrow..Tomorrow!..

Was Daddy Warbucks an R1b?

[M.O'Connor]

I'm sure he'd be a Wanna-be

[Stevo]

Definitely.

I sure hope your results come in tonight or tomorrow.

Let us know, will ya?

C'mon 147!

Remember that Arizona is behind us in time. Your results may not come in until this evening.

Both sets of mine came in fairly late in the evening but on time.

Frankly, I don't know why you all are expecting results to actually arrive on time.

I am still waiting for mtDNA tests due on 5/3 as well as a 38-to-66 upgrade due on 5/15. And FTDNA's email on these has not been hopeful of getting results any time soon.

FTDNA's equipment is apparently very good at the regular 37 yDNA markers. All other tests are apparently much more difficult, with much higher failure rates and much longer delays.

[M.O'Connor]

on time?....this is my second Target Date. The first target date was May 22.


C'mon 147!

[Stevo]

Well, I was trying to be positive and hopeful.

I tend to think that way, even though life has often rebuked me for it.

I realize the Deep SNPs seem to be more of a challenge for FTDNA than the standard 37-marker tests.

Since my own Deep SNP-R1b is targeted for July 17, I don't want to believe I won't see any results until Otober!

That's a dismal prospect.

So I continue to hope O'Connor's results come in today, and that FTDNA gets the SNP methodology down pat before July 17.

[M.O'Connor]

yea..they're probably ironing the bugs out..and by the time your sample hits the grid they could probably do your results with one test-tube behind they're backs..

It's still early in the day at the Lab.

I hope you're right.

I'm also hoping for some real advancements in the coming years.

Maybe they'll discover the R1b Patriarch miraculously preserved in ice in Siberia, astride his faithful wooly mammoth, Fritz.

I actually do suspect that FTDNA is in the process of buying and installing a second set of equipment, more tuned for either mtDNA or (yDNA) SNPs.

[M.O'Connor]

yes..I'm waiting for both...thanks...

H subclade...batch 153...due July 3rd.

I think it's a 4th of July trick on me because I'm Canadian. The big independance thing and all.

Ah well...

It's not like you guys lifted up the country
and moved it to South America.

Have you seen the movie Canadian Bacon?

The CIA tried to keep it under wraps, but you were considered as a Post Cold War alternative until the Jihadists stepped up and volunteered.

Have you noticed that I now have over 1,000 posts?

It's diarrhea of the keyboard.

No results yet today,...I'm just heading out to meet-up with some friends..watch the ship
