Thank you Comosus.  A good map to go into my file.

The only organisation I know of that offers free testing is SMGF and that would not cover low level SNP testing such as you mentioned.

Are there some who offer free testing based on a particular surname that is being researched?
I seem to vaguely remember reading some time ago about a project, might have been the Richards surname, which invited free testing - or did I dream it!?

Each surname project has its own funding policy and you would have to inspect each one individually to find out. I offer free tests to Kennedys subject to some criteria.

A number operate like mine by offering free tests to build the base for the paying customers (usually brick-walled in the New World) to compare themselves against.

IanKennedy.  I questioned RootsforReal.com re my brother's DNA result. I am told he belongs to "G" Haplogroup.  Also they very kindly sent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Y-chromosome_DNA_haplogroups.( I am so inefficient on a computer so hope you can get this address).  It really has some interesting info. even about the Group you belong to.
