Results
Previous Y-DNA testing
Currently, there are conflicting results for the identification of the Y-DNA Haplogroup for Richard Warren. The Mayflower DNA Project has one individual who has tested 67 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under E-M35.[1] However, a discussion at Geni.com states a male who has tested 37 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under R1b-M269.[2]
Further research and DNA testing is needed to confirm which (if either) of these individuals has a valid genetic line going back to Richard Warren
- ↑ According to an administrator for this DNA Project, the individual's sister has had her lineage verified by the GSMD.
- ↑ This line can be found at: Warren Line
