Results for Geno 2.0 and RCasey predictor

[phoenix]

My father recently received his results from Genographic project 2.0. He is in group R-L21. I wasn't sure of the next steps to take to further the testing.

I went to the Rcasey predictor and he was likely for DF41. What next steps should I take? And is this an odd result for African American male?

It's not odd at all. Quite a few African-Americans have some European ancestry (and some Euro-Americans have some African ancestry, as well). Check his results for CTS2501, if you wouldn't mind. If he is CTS2501+, then the odds are he is DF41+, as well.

If he is CTS2501+, please have him join the R-DF41 and Subclades Project:

He should also join the R L21 and Subclades Project:

Welcome to Anthrogenica.
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. has done a lot in this area. This is from PBS.

By finding out his haplogroup, Prof. Gates now knows that he is likely to have Irish ancestry on his paternal side. He, and a majority of men in Ireland, share the paternal haplogroup, R1b1b2a1a2f2. It is thought to come from an Irish King named Niall of the Nine Hostages. Prof. Gates is one of the very few African Americans, about 1 percent, who traces his ancestry on both his maternal and paternal side to Europe.

A curious thing: a man just joined the R L21 and Subclades Project a couple of days ago who matches a bunch of Stewarts (his surname is not Stewart), is CTS6581+ (DF41+), but whose BIG Y shows him negative for L744 and L745 despite the fact that he has a la carte SNP test results that show him L744+ and L745+ (I know: same thing).

I put him in the L744+ category anyway, figuring something is up with his BIG Y results for L744/L745.

I asked him to join the R-DF41 and Subclades Project, as well, but he apparently hasn't done it yet.

I transferred my Dad's results to FTDAN and joined to the R-L21 and subclades project.
He was not positive for CTS2501, so I did not add him to R-DF41.


Here is the report from FTDNA:

Next steps to find Dad's subclade. Am I better off ordering STR test or ordering individual SNPs?
