Grinnell (Y-DNA)

Status summary

Completed as of January 31, 2022:

• Recruiting patrilineal (all male-line) Daniel Grinnell descendants (and preferably through his son Daniel) for NGS/WGS SNP testing. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should Read me First

IMPORTANT: Read me First

Still to do as of October 29, 2020

• NGS/WGS test multiple Grinnell descendants to firmly place family clade as well as discover any subclades unique to descendants' lines

DNA results I1-M253

Previous Y-DNA testing

As of January 31, 2022 Family Tree DNA does not have a Grinnell surname DNA Project, but has 23 kits associated with the Grinnell surname. There is one individual who claims Y-DNA descent from Matthew Grinnell (grandfather of Daniel Grinnell (II) in the Mayflwer DNA Project subgroup: XX - Alden, John YDNA/FF Tests. This individual has not done Y-SNP testing, and has only done 37-YSTR testing to date. FTDNA has predicted he would fall under the I1-M253 haplogroup.

Further needed testing

We need patrilineal (all male-line) descendants of Daniel Grinnell (and preferably through his son Daniel) to WGS/NGS test to confirm and further refine the haplogroup placement.
