Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower Society[1] and the Brewster surname DNA project[2] has indicated that the Brewster lineage belongs to the Y haplogroup I-M253, which is quite common in Northern Europe and Northwestern Europe. Details of previous findings are summarized here (a 2007 posting to ancestry.com Brewster surname board). Y Elite test results will be able to place the Brewster lineage more precisely within the broader I-M253 group.
