Little (Y-DNA)
Contents
Status summary
Completed as of October 1, 2020:
- Recruiting additional direct male-line Thomas Little 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 predicted to fall under R1b L21>>L513>S5668>A7
Still to do as of October 1, 2020
- NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Thomas Little to firmly place family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

Previous Y-DNA testing
The Little DNA Project Subgroup: "i. MRCA unknown; Ireland; early Marshfield Massachusetts; Haplogroup R1b-L193; further testing necessary to establish lineage" lists five individuals, one whom states his Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Thomas Little. None of these individuals have done any Y-DNA SNP testing, but the Thomas Little descendant has done 111 Y-STR testing. Plugging in his Y-STR values into the Nevgen.org Haplogroup Predictor[1] predicts a variety of haplogroups under R1b-P312>>L21 with the top four entries (combined probability score of 95%) all falling under L21>>L513>S5668.
- ↑ set for I haplogroup
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of Thomas Little to WGS/NGS test to both confirm this prediction as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
