Yes, I prefer the nomenclature R1a-L448 also Michael. And let me know whenever new downstream Y-DNA SNPs are made available by FTDNA - I will order them immediately. Hopefully a few other Cooley men will also. Likely we descendants of John Cooley of Stokes Co., NC, will all have the same results for all Y-DNA SNPs, but of course multiple results are always better than a single result.
Best Wishes,
Don Cooley
