I meant also to add that FTDNA is leaving behind the old haplogroup
nomenclature represented by our group R1a1a1b1a3a, replacing the reporting
with the "shorthand" version, such as R-L448. (I prefer R1a-L228, as it's
a little more informative.) All the earlier classifications appear to have
disappeared from the results pages and are being *slowly* replaced. It's
so slow, in fact, that I can only guess that someone is doing it by hand.

As I mentioned, three of us have tested positive for the L448 SNP. In
addition, FTDNA is reporting the prediction of L448 for four more of us. I
suspect that, when they're done, all will have the same prediction
reported.
