Rider (Y-DNA)
Contents
Status summary
Completed as of April 15, 2021:
- Recruiting direct male-line descendants of Samuel Rider 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 Samuel Rider (and preferably of his son Samuel [II]) to place the family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines
Biography

DNA results TBD
Previous Y-DNA testing
At the present time (Jan 2022), the FTDNA Rider Rydar Ryder DNA Project does not list the most distant known patrilineal ancestor (MDKPA) so it is impossible to discover whether any of the project members descends from Samuel Rider.
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of Samuel Rider (and preferably of his son Samuel [II]) to WGS/NGS test to discover the haplogroup/clade for the family.
