Funny, I was just going to ask where it was, too!

After this post, I will need only two more to make 2,000.

For a guy who knows so little about dna, I shoot my mouth off a lot!

Ever notice how few markers some of the scientific papers use? Yet they manage to make some pretty sweeping conclusions. I wish they would all use the same nomenclature, too. That would make them a lot easier to understand.

[melissa]

True. I know hardly anything at all. But I see papers and they'll use like 6 markers and come up with really specific conclusions. I just forget everything I read anyway LOL.

So forgetful... LOL, I just remembered I 'joined' my DH into Charles' R1b project. DH only has 12 markers from FTDNA, but a whole slew from DNA-FP. I should set up a ss over in my freepages. The poor guy has 278 12 marker matches.

Did somebopdy say WAMH?

278 12-marker matches!

Great Caesar's ghost! (I've always wanted to say that.)

WoW...Is his name Smith?

Is that all? Currently I've got 850 12 marker matches (about 820+/- of them exact)! I didn't start getting any meaningful results until the 37 marker tests.

[melissa]

800+ just sounds so funny And I thought my DH had alot. On the other side, my dad and his real matches only have a handful of non-surname matches at 12. 6 to be exact, plus one at '-1'. No 25 exact matches out of the surname, and only 10 nons at -1 and -2. FTDNA has no nons at 37 of any kind.

[melissa]

Oh cool! I just noticed my dad's only 67 match shows. Has this been up for the whole time or am I slow Dad has a whopping "1" 67 match at -5, same surname of course.

I've got a whopping 8 12-marker matches.

From what I've read (very little LOL) about R1b, 'many' 12 marker matches is more common than 'few', such as only 8. One of my project's members got a notice of a 12 marker match this morning, but he already has a couple hundred at least so I didn't even go look.

That's what I understand. It seems the closer one is to WAMH, the more 12-marker matches he will have.

But there are a few of us R1bs here who are some distance from WAMH and thus have only a very few 12-marker matches.

I have a genetic distance of 13 from WAMH, which is why I have so few 12-marker matches, I guess.

Breaking News

Hey! Now I have 9 12-marker matches! I'm popular!

I just noticed a new one this morning. The guy is off by 15 from me at 37 markers, though.

zero matches

Hi

One of my family members is in haplogroup R1b1c and has zero 12 marker matches.

Wow! That is rare.

He must be pretty far off WAMH (YSearch C7BED).
