Current results

The Bennett surname DNA Project currently does not name the Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) of testers. However, the Ipswich Bennett Y-DNA descendant chart lists the FTDNA numbers for the descendants of Henry Bennett (grandfather of Isaac). Coordinating between these two websites, the Y-DNA Haplogroup for this family is: R-L23>Z2103>M12149>Z2106>Z2109>CTS7822>CTS7556>FGC29330>FT31210>BY3299>Y89340>Y82698>Y111218>FT105891
