Status summary

Completed as of April 15, 2021:

  • Recruiting direct male-line descendants of James Burroughs for SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com

Still to do as of April 15, 2021

  • NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of James Burroughs to place the family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

DNA results TBD

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Burroughs DNA Project currently does not list anyone claiming James Burroughs as their most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA).

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of James Burroughs to WGS/NGS test to discover the haplogroup/clade for the family.
