Coe (Y-DNA)

Status summary

Completed as of January 31, 2022:

• Recruiting patrilineal (all male-line)John Coe descendants for NGS/WGS SNP testing. Recruiting patrilineal (all male line) descendants of Rev. John Robinson to NGS/WGS test. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should Read me First

IMPORTANT: Read me First

Still to do as of October 29, 2020

• NGS/WGS test multiple Coe descendants to firmly place family clade as well as discover any subclades unique to descendants' lines

DNA results R1b-L151

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Coe Family DNA Project subgroup: Matthew Coe has two individuals, but their STR results do not match so they belong to two different families. Both individuals fall under Haplogroup R-L151 with one falling under U106 an the other under L21.

Further needed testing

We need patrilineal (all male-line) descendants of John Coe to WGS/NGS test to discover which (if either) of the two were patrilineal descendants and further refine the haplogroup placement.
