R-L21 SOUTH IRISH PROJECT

Outline

How to interpret the South Irish results worksheet

Close genetic matches to another donor

Further research

How to interpret the South Irish results worksheet:

	390 slow moving marker	385 fast moving markers	464 recLOH event
South Irish		11-15 notes a unique South Irish Marker	15-15-17-17 color notes where to look for differences in members being compared
Your member		11-16 you are a GD of 1 from the South Irish marker	15-16-17-17 you are a GD of 1 from the haplogroup/member being compared
Another member		11-15	15-15-17-17

Close Genetic Matches to another donor: 

We determined the close match cutoff for known or speculative projects by using the current FTDNA interpretations.  67 markers with a GD > 9 are probably not related.  We used this as the end number to compare close matches.  With the close match worksheet in the 'R-L21 South Irish Results' workbook, all close matches less than the GD 7 are listed.   

Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 1.0 Member close matches	Gap 2.0* Haplogroup close matches
	related	probably related	possibly related	probably not related	not related	Multi-allele Markers
12	GD = 0 related		GD = 1 possibly related	GD = 2 probably not related	GD = 3 not related	GD = 1
25	GD = 1 related	GD = 2 probably related		GD => 3 probably not related	GD => 4 not related	GD = 2
37	GD = 0 very tightly related GD = 1 tightly related GD = 2 or 3 related	GD = 4 probably related	GD = 5 possibly related		GD => 6 not related	GD = 5
67	GD = 0 very tightly related GD = 1 or 2 tightly related GD = 3, 4, 5 ,6 related		GD = 7 possibly related = 8 or 9 only possibly related		GD => 10 not related	GD = 9
111						GD = 9

We are using a GD of 9 to compare a donor to a haplogroup like the South Irish (this is not etched in stone and will vary)

If you are no closer than a GD of 9 to any of the 40 known or speculative projects, more research needs to be done to identify your haplogroup.  You can get involved in finding your haplogroup.  It just takes time and tenacity.
