I posted the question on Rootsweb about how one can tell he belongs in the R1b-Frisian Cluster: how many markers he needs, how far off he can be, etc.
I have not gotten an answer yet (and maybe I won't), but it was relatively late in the evening when I posted it. I didn't address the question to anyone specifically; I just asked it of the general list audience.
Some of the markers used by Nordtvedt on his R1b modals chart were not among the 37 I was tested for by FTDNA. Of the first 25 markers, I matched R1b-Frisian exactly on 22 of them. None of the other modals scored that high, although I believe I had 20 or 21 that matched R1b-Norwegian.
I am wondering how indicative of anything STRS are for R1b, since it is so ubiquitous.
It seems to me more downstream SNPs are needed, and we need to see how they really break down geographically.
