I recommend the use of

http://ycc.biosci.arizona.edu/nomenclature_system/fig1.pdf

for those tough conversion chores.

There are things, however, that this chart can't do.
Most of us who are in European groups won't find
these,
but if you are from SE asia, Australia, or Oceania,
you may. If so, I may have the answer.

The only answer I still am unsure about is whether
"K" in Melanesia means K*, K1, or N*. I have managed
to eliminate all other choices except N2 with SNPs and
STRs, and N2 on the basis of extreme geographic
isolation.

The latest version of my Y chromosome chart at
scs.uiuc.edu/~mcdonald has these discoveries in it.
This chart now completely supercedes the chart in
Jobling's article "THE HUMAN Y CHROMOSOME:
AN EVOLUTIONARY MARKER COMES OF AGE" [the journal's
all caps], which has underclassified pies.
