Hello everyone, a few weeks back I took a Y-DNA STRs test and I found out that I belong to the haplogroup I1 with all European matches . I am Syrian of a Circassian descent (my great grandfather migrated from the Caucasus (Adygea) to Syria through Turkey). now how is it possible that I belong to I1? and what invasion/migration is responsible for transferring the these genes to the Caucasus? And now that I know that I belong to the I1 haplogroup (L22 with 58% possibility) , what SNPs should I order to narrow down my matches?
