Extended tag for our R1b1a2 Haplogroup

We first started with the 12 allele dna test and were of the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  After going to 67 alleles we then were called the R1b1a2 haplogroup. 

I have just been notified that our Haplogroup has been updated to be R1b1a2a1a1b4 which in shorthand is called (P312+& L21+).  Here is what wikipedia has to say about this new standing.  As more information is discovered, our name has to change. 

R1b1a2a1a1b4 (R-L21)This subclade is defined by the presence of the marker L21, also referred to as M529 and S145.[2] Myres et al. report it is most common in England and Ireland (25-50% of the whole male population).[7]

We tested negative for SNP's U152, U106-P66, P314.2, M37, M222, L96, L226, L193, L176.2, L159.2, L144. 
R1b1a2a1a1b4 P312+ L21+ U152- U106- P66- P314.2- M37- M222- L96- L226- L193- L176.2- L159.2- L144-

R1b Haplogroup expanded all over Europe after the last Glacial maximum which was 10 to 12 thousand years ago. 

What's amazing if this is the most common in England and Ireland is that we only have one match at the 67 allele level, and he is a Robinson.  I hope more Robinsons will get tested.
