First Generation

Philip (Philippe) de la Noye (Delanoy, Delano) was baptized at the Protestant Walloon church[1] on 6 Nov 1603[2], son of Jan (Jean) Lano[3] of Tourcoing (Flanders, then part of the Spanish Netherlands now part of France, bordering Belgium), and Marie Mahieu of Lille (Flanders, later annexed to France).[4] His parents were married at that church some time after the date of their betrothal, 13 Jan 1596.[5] He was the nephew of Hester Mahieu, the wife of Mayflower Passenger, Francis Cooke.

  2. Several records give his age and they all converge on 1602, so it appears there was some delay in his baptism.
  3. He was son of Gysbert de Lannoy of Tourcoing per the 1977 TAG article.

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Delano DNA Project lists twelve individuals who have STR tested and match each other. One of these individuals has apparently Big Y-700 testing and been found to fall under R-U106>>L48>Y37962>S23189>A6706>S19342>S18372>Y22517>BY12202>BY11429>FGC60412>BY72783.

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of Philip Delano to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
