DNA Results R1b-A5616

Previous testing

FTDNA's Bumpus surname DNA Project subgroup: HAP-2 contains seven individuals naming "Edouard Bompasse" as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA)^[1] While none of the individual in the group have Y-SNP tested, some have Y-STR111 tested. FTDNA predicted they fall under the R1b-M269 Haplogroup. Plugging in the Modal Values for the 111 STR marker into the Nevgen Y-DNA Haplogroup Predictor Tool arives at a predicted haplogroup of R1b-U106>Z381>Z301>>Z30>>Z338>>A5616 with 100% Confidence.

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing is needed to confirm the prediction (above) as well as potentially further refine the haplogroup.
