DNA Results TBD

Previous testing

The Thatcher DNA Project currently does not list anyone claiming their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Col. John Tha(t)cher.

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing of Tha(t)cher Y-DNA descendants would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
