Renaming R-F110 to R-FGC36619

 

Thanks Wendy.? I should also have mentioned Jenny Grillet's Edward Schultz.? He is F110+ but FGC36619- so would remain R-F110 if FTDNA are able to reassign the DF21>DF5 F110's using another of their shared SNPs.? Otherwise Edward Schultz would have to be relabelled R-L679 until more testing is done to identify more recent SNPs he shares with myself and Larry Brett.? That would require BigY700.
Kind regards
Nigel

As always, thank you Nigel!

Most Y-DNA SNPs which are used to define haplogroups have occurred only once in the history of mankind and so can be used to define branches in the Y-DNA family tree without any risk of duplication.? Unfortunately, F110 is not such a SNP: it is a recurrent SNP which has occurred more than once and in more than one branch of the Y-DNA tree.? Until recently other occurrences were not being used for naming haplogroups but that is no longer the case - I have found there is another R-F110 in a different part of the Y-DNA tree (DF21>DSF5 .... but like S16264 also derived from L21+, DF13+).? So I have sent a note to FTDNA pointing this out and suggesting our R-F110 be renamed R-FGC36619 as FGC36619 is unique to Larry's and my branch of the Y-DNA tree.? Hopefully the change will happen within a week or two.

Best wishes
