Joao, The front page article sounds like a great idea, I suspect some people in Portugal will read what Genetic Genealogy can do for them specifically for the first time. Also I think a good selling point for FTDNA in Portugal is that there already are Portuguese samples to compare to 1000+

Cheri, I have looked at a link about the Beleza study but I haven't noticed the Y-DNA STR Markers listed. I have attached the link perhaps I'm missing something. Didn't realize that I could look at the STR Markers from the samples from that study. Perhaps someone is aware of a different link
