Status summary
Completed as of October 31, 2020:
- Recruiting additional direct male-line descendants of William Harlow for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com
Still to do as of October 31, 2020
- NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of John Keen to place the family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

DNA results
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Keane (etc.) Y-DNA Project does not list any descendants of John Keen of Hingham.
Further needed testing
We need direct male-line descendants of John Keen to WGS/NGS test to refine it further and delineate descendant clades.
