DNA results E-Z16663
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Hawks DNA Project subgroup Semitic has two individuals[1] claiming John Hawkes (born circa 1580) as the Most Distant Known Pateilineal Ancestor (MDKPA). None of these individuals have taken any SNP testing, but one of them has taken a YSTR-111 test. FTDNA predicts they fall under haplogroup E-M35. Plugging in the modal values into the NevGen Haplogroup Predictor (set for Haplogroup E) gives a result of E-M35>M78>PF2179>Z1919>L618>V13>CTS8814>CTS5856>Z16663 with 99.28% certainty.
Speculation based on Y-DNA results
According to posts at anthrogenica.com E-Z16663 is a very rare subclade and was found in Italy and the Balkans. This leads to speculation where the patrilineal ancestor of the Hawkes family may have been a Roman soldier who was stationed in Brittania (now England). It was fairly common for Roman soldiers to have families and (if they survived their service) retire in the area where they served.
- ↑ A third individual is a close STR marker match but does not list any MDKPA.
