Results
Previous Y-DNA testing
Currently, there are conflicting results for the identification of the Y-DNA Haplogroup for Richard Warren. The Mayflower DNA Project has one individual who has tested 67 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under E-M35.[1][2] However, a discussion at Geni.com states a male who has tested 37 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under R1b-M269.[3]
Further research and DNA testing is needed to confirm which (if either) of these individuals has a valid genetic line going back to Richard Warren.
- ↑ The Nevgen Y-DNA Haplogroup Predictor stated 99.97% likely to fall under E1b1b1a1b1a E-V13. An old paper published in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy stated E-V13 was a Balkan Haplogroup, and its presence in England was likely due to Roman soldiers (from the Balkans) settling in the area after their military service.
- ↑ According to an administrator for this DNA Project, the individual's cousin had her lineage verified by the GSMD.
- ↑ This line can be found at: Warren Line at Geni.com
