DNA results

Previous Y-DNA testing

Family Tree DNA currently does not have a Taber or Tabor surname DNA Project, but lists 63 Taber tests and 100 Tabor tests

Further needed testing

We would need more Y-DNA descendants of Thomas Taber to take NGS/WGS tests to pin down the haplogroup, as well as possibly define subclades for various branches of the family.
