DNA results I-L573

Previous Y-DNA testing

As of 21 June 2023, the Snow DNA Project Subgroup: "Lineage 1" lists 18 individuals whose STR match each other.[1] None of these individuals have done any Y-SNP testing, but three have tested 111 Y-STRs. FTDNA has predicted the family would fall under the I-M253 clade. Plugging in one of the 111 STR results into the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction Tool gives a result that the haplogroup is not supported by the tool, but six of the top ten haplogroups listed fall somewhere under I1-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647>Z61>Z60.

WGS/NGS results

As of 30 Jun 2024, two patrilineal (direct male line) descendants of Nicholas Snow have taken the Big Y-700 test. their test results came back as: I-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647>Z61>Z60>CTS7362>Z2895>CTS9352>L573. We need additional direct male-line descendants of Nicholas Snow to WGS/NGS test to delineate descendant clades.
