Previous Y-DNA testing

The Pratt Lineages & DNA Project Subgroup: "Haplogroup R1b - Lineage 3A (R-U152>L2>DF103>FGC4166>BY123080>FT31290)" lists 14 individuals (all STR matching each other). While only one of these individuals states their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Phineas Pratt others list known close relatives of Phineas as their MDKPA. Two individuals have apparently taken the Big Y-700 test and they are assigned to the following Haplogroup: R1b-P312>ZZ11>U152>L2>DF103>FGC4166>BY123080>FT31290>FT29156>FT137491.
