Actually I got my 23andMe results Friday evening. There are no new SNPs that
distinguish M222 people from the next step up the tree, but I had just over
200 "no calls" out of nearly 2100 Y-chromosome SNPs tested. So there is
still room for a new SNP to sneak in.

One other M222+ individual has to my knowledge tested with 23andMe -- the
name is McGinley. Leaving out the "no calls," he and I matched on every SNP
where we both got a reading.

These results are available in an excel workbook (large! -- 4+ megs) that
you can download here:

http://www.webalice.it/asquecco/Y_DNA-Forums.xls

The spreadsheet is daunting at first glance. Further information about
individual SNPs and the results from both 23andMe and deCODEme is available
in the threads at http://dna-forums.org You need to register get access to
the conversation, but there is a lot of good information here. This is one
of the main places where enthusiasts work out new details of the rapidly
expanding Y-DNA tree.

Going back to the original question, I suspect you don't need a SNP test.
You look like M222, and if you are that means you are necessarily L21+ as
well.

I think I'd hold off a while on SNP tests. Two R1b1c7 (David Wilson, Paul
Burns) have just said they ordered the DecodeMe or one of the other tests
last week. Maybe something new will come from that.

Would it make sense to have an SNP test? If so, would it be best to wait
till FTDNA offer the L21 test?
