DNA results I1-M253

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Weston Worldwide surname DNA Project Group 06 has one individual claiming a Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Edmund Weston b. 1605. This individual has not done any SNP tested, but has done Y67 STR testing. FTDNA predicted the family would fall under the I1-M253 Haplogroup. Plugging in the STR values into the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction tool comes back with an unsupported clade, so we cannot currently refine FTDNA's prediction.

Further needed testing

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