Hi B.J. & Toot,

Here I am again Still awaiting results from FTDNA on the Y-DNA+mtDNAPlus (y-DNA 13-25 Marker) tests.

While I'm waiting perhaps ya'll can help me one more time.

On my FTDNA personal page, the Haplogroup section, I'm confused as to reading the charts. The headers on each section refer to Haplogroup, Country, Comment & Count.

As I stated in a previuos message they have me in Haplogoup (I) on the intial 12 Marker test. This is for 12 Marker, One Step Mutations, Two Step Mutations, Three Step Mutations & Four Step Mutations.

Col. 1 = Haplogroup I .....okay
Col. 2 = Eurpoean Countries ...okay
Col. 3 = comments ......blanks
Col. 4 = Counts

It is Col. 4 that has me confused. What do the numbers for each country (European) represent? AND there is also a count for country of Unknown Origin, this entry has a number considerably higher than any of the other listed countries.

What's Up?
