Recommendations for ordering y-dna SNPs (deep ancestry)
Last update April 24, 2018
SNP packs are not needed if a member of your group has a terminal SNP (just order that SNP to confirm)
Group Location Haplogroup Current Terminal SNP Recommended SNP Geographic Origin Model SNP packs you should order
If your group doesn't have a terminal SNP
