About us
FTDNA has tested our first participant's haplogroup. It is I1. It will need further testing, but it appears to be I1-T2, per Ken Nordtvedt.
Ken has a good study of I at:

This first haplotype looks like I1-T2 based on the 7 at 459a, the 23 at 390, and by the 9,12 at 511,462.
I1-T2 haplotypes have an unusually high value at DYS481, ie 27 repeats, so once this kit is tested out to 67 markers we would see that if indeed this is a I1-T2. There are possibly a couple of other markers in the 38-67 panel that might reveal sub-clades, so once that panel is tested we will see what Ken says.
For those who have Family Finder results, here is an explanation on how recombining works with the X chromosome.
