I1 Question regarding YDNA SNP Packs

[Stolfi]

Hi, I just submitted my brother's kit for Y-111 via FTDNA. According to 23andme his haplogroup is L.205.1. I'm assuming that he will get a more generic haplogroup from FTDNA. I'd rather not, at this point, spend the extra money to upgrade to Big Y as I just bought a Big Y kit for my cousin for my mother's paternal side. That being said, I'm wondering if there's a recommended SNP pack that I can ******** that will verify the L.205.1 for me and, hopefully, a subgroup lower than L.205.1 Our paternal side is from the Basilicata region of Italy and I have been able to document them there back to the mid-1600's but am looking to see if there is a Langobard/Lombard connection. Which I think brings me to another question, are there any particular SNP's that have been identified as being Langobard or would rule out a Langobard connection?

Have you joined the I1 project? The admins there will be more qualified to list the options available. There doesn't seem to be an activity feed there, but you can email the admins.

Wait, Bernard Sécher is admin there? I wonder if he is I1...

Glad to be of help!

I'm in two R1b groups, under my father and my maternal uncle's accounts. These group have been really helpful to me.
