Goldfoot SNP Test In-L245 Positive Q1b1 Haplogroup

I found out something new.  When you have a SNP test, you are not notified by e-mail.  The results  are to be found on your webpage.  I also found out that SNP tests come in quickly.   The results were known by the 25th of April and I wasn't aware of that.  I had sent in the request on the 12th of April.  Now I still couldn't follow the directions of the gal answering my phone call.  I found the results on the certificate that came up for SNP results after speaking to her.
3:16pm:  Just now tried again and it did come up.
Q1b1 P36.2+ M378+ L245+ L272-


The result is that our Goldfoot line was positive for L245 and negative for L272.  This puts us in the catagory of Q1b1 now instead of Q1b.  In shorthand this is P36+2 + M378+ L245+.  Evidently people positive for L272 have the tag of Q1b1a1 and we are not in that group. 

The Q's were from the Altai/Baikal region of Northern Eurasia and that's how Native Americans got into America.  As for our small Jewish group that left the original Q's eons ago, we're only about 5% of the total Jewish population.  Maybe this SNP test will help us learn what path we took and when.

The haplogroup of Q started 17,000 to 22,000 years ago and was a branch off of haplogroup P. 
Most Europeans and all the people of the Americas come from P.  So do the Central and Southern Asians.  This was a branch developed 27,000 to 41,000 years ago. 
P, Q and R are descendents of K.    P's came from Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or along the Silk road around Kinjiang, Gansu or Ningxia about 35,000 years ago.  Sea levels were much lower at that time and the weather was different. 

Without any kind of transportation, except the horse when people were still enjoying cave homes, people traversed this whole planet, most likely in search of food and safety instead of wanting a holiday.  There's still a lot to learn about the travails of our Q1b1 ancestors. 

Answer to question found on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ashkenazi-Q/message/1439

"But the L245 SNP is downstream from the M378. Downstream means evolved later in time. This makes us even more unique. Two of our members have SNPs downstream from the L245. One is the L272 and the other is the L315."  (our particular test shows we were negative for L272.)

These more recent mutations may have evolved within a few hundred years in the Mediterranean area.
