You did a nice job on the J2 branch......
Most haplogroups are not very modern. FTDNA said as much in the initial announcement.
"This means you’ll only receive a partial haplogroup from an autosomal test. Most customers can expect this haplogroup to have originated in the Metal Age (about 10,000 years ago)."
I think they were being very conservative to suggest 10,000 years ago, but that might be true for some people. I see there are 22,000 J2 men at the moment, but your SNPs can narrow that down considerably.
My R SNP-of-Interest is 500 BCE, but still a big step in the right direction. And my SNP has more than doubled since Dec and comprises less than 1% of R-M269 so that's a major filtering for me. Quite a few potential BigY matches if I can just persuade them to move up.
