Scientists have found ca. 1400 Lombard graves (info from a lecture about genomic research on migrations):

Testing all 1400 samples for aDNA would cost few million dollars. But - at least in theory - it is all possible.
 
I'll be happy with ten samples for now. :)
In the future we'll send Google Robots to do the digging cheaply, with no human contamination. Scan all bones with an eye laser for DNA and download results immediately through Internet to Eupedia's thread.
