Hi list
Please excuse the ignorance of a DNA newbie!
I recently had my Y chromosome tested, and discovered that it is of I1 haplogroup. Now I know broadly what that means, but I haven't the faintest idea what the list of 16 Y STRs implies. Do/can these narrow the group down, or are they simply the definition of I1 itself? If this is a pdq, please just direct me to the correct resource
Now further it came as something of a shock to find that my clan ( Whalen/O'Faolain) had no members in I1, in fact substantially in R1b. I'm assuming that this implies an NPE sometime in the past 1000 odd years and that my original male ancestor was a Viking?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Clive
