- Recruiting Winslow for Y Elite test
Background
Paper trail
(to be added)
No Y-DNA descendants of either Gov. Edward Winslow, or his brother Gilbert (both Mayflower Passengers) are living today. The last Y-DNA descendant of Gov. Edward was Edward Gay Winslow (born Hingham, MA 27 Nov 1848 and died there [unmarried] 30 Oct 1906). His lineage was: Edward Gay Winslow, Isaac, John Esq., Dr. Isaac, Maj. Gen. John, Hon. Isaac, Gov. Josiah, Gov. Edward. Y-DNA descendants of his brother Kenelm (and poss. other brothers) are still living (and flourishing).
Previous Y-DNA testing
Previous Y-STR testing through the Winslow surname DNA project[1] has indicated that the Winslow lineage belongs to the I-M253 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Northern and Northwestern Europe. Furthermore, the Winslow project has a member of the project who has tested I-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647/Z62>Z60>S11023>BY34545>BY34542. Y Elite test results will be able to confirm this, and possibly place the Winslow lineage more precisely. The results will also enable identification of more recent SNP markers, some of which may be ascribed to individual Winslows (e.g. Kanelm Winslow) with sufficiently broad testing.
