Hi Don,
I created a simple interface for others to use to compare to our Y-SNPs,
but more on that later. The question is, Are the 23andMe Y-SNPs so old
that they won't reveal any significant differences among R1a1a
descendants? We might make a determination with as little as 3 or 4
volunteers.
Depending on what we learn about the Perrin C line, your dad's lineage
does appear to be the shortest of those who have tested. But if Perrin C
does turn out to be John grandson, rather than a great-grandson,
Joel--Jack's uncle--will have the same degree of descent.
