DNA Results R1b-BY24110

Previous testing

The Hileman, etc. DNA Project Group: 06 - R1b > M269 (Group 1) - suggest: Increase Markers, or Big-Y documents the haplogroup of the family as: R1b-P312>Z290>L21>DF13>L513>S6365>BY16>CTS3087>FGC13411> FGC32363>BY24110

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing of Hillman Y-DNA descendants would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
