David, I've taken your suggestion--on reloading to
Ysearch from the personal page of the cousin in
question, the haplogroup designation was automatically
reset to "unknown." This, I agree, is a very
confusing feature of Ysearch. Has anyone on this list
actually called FTDNA's attention to the problem this
is causing? I mean, anyone at the administrator
level?
