Wheeler (Y-DNA)

Status summary

Completed as of October 1, 2020:

• Recruiting additional direct male-line Wheeler descendants for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond T. Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)
• Y-SNP tested to

Still to do as of October 1, 2020

• NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Obadiah Wheeler to firmly place family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

Previous Y-DNA testing

Wheeler DNA Project Subgroup: CA Group 6 lists nine individuals, most known Y-DNA descendants of Dominick Wheeler (born 1525). One of these individuals (kit #140139) descends from Obadiah Wheeler (II) & Elizabeth White.</ref> One individual in the subgroup Y-SNP tested I-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647>Z61> Z60>FT220000>A9271

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of Obadiah Wheeler (II) to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
