David,
"....the Niall box...." I take it this refers to some icon which FTDNA
suggests associates you with the Niall line of descent.
I haven't anything that I would recognise as such, altho' I am FTDNA
tested M222+. Does this, in your view, suggest that FTDNA places my
descent pre-Niall?
I am perfectly happy with this deduction, but there seems to be a
growing body of opinion that M222+ is more recent than earlier
suggested, and that Niall is fairly close to the founder.
