DNA results TBD
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Bundy surname DNA Project does not list the Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) so it is impossible to determine whether any Y-DNA descendants of John Bundy have taken a Y-DNA test.
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of John Bundy to WGS/NGS test to both to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
