DNA results
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Starr Stoehr Stair Family DNA Project Y-DNA Haplogroup R (Comfort Starr) currently lists three individuals. None have done Y-SNP testing. Two have done Y-37 STR testing and the third has done Y-67 STR testing. FTDNA has predicted they fall under R1b-M269. The NavGen Haplogroup predicto9r has been unable to further refine the Y-67 STR result. Since DYS492=12 it is likely the family falls under R-P312 (rather than U106 which has a strong modal value of DYS492=13).
NGS/WGS testing of the family would be able to further refine their haplogroup.
