DNA results I-M223
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Barker DNA Project does not name the Ancestor, but using the internet archives wayback machine Barker family DNA Patriarchs the Barker DNA Project I Group 3 descends from John Barker, uncle to Robert Barker (II) and his Y-37 STR result was predicted to fall under I-M223.
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of Robert Barker (and preferably of his son Robert [II]) to WGS/NGS test to discover the haplogroup/clade for the family.
