DNA results E-Z16663
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Hawks DNA Project subgroup Semitic has two individuals[1] claiming John Hawkes (born circa 1580) as the Most Distant Known Pateilineal Ancestor (MDKPA). None of these individuals have taken any SNP testing, but one of them has taken a YSTR-111 test. FTDNA predicts they fall under haplogroup E-M35. Plugging in the modal values into the NevGen Haplogroup Predictor (set for Haplogroup E) gives a result of E-M35>M78>PF2179>Z1919>L618>V13>CTS8814>CTS5856>Z16663 with 99.28% certainty.
Speculation based on Y-DNA results
According to posts at anthrogenica.com E-Z16663 is a very rare subclade and was found in Italy and the Balkans. This leads to speculation where the patrilineal ancestor of the Hawes family may have been a Roman soldier who was stationed Brittania. It was fairly common for Roman soldiers to have families and (if they survived their service) retire in the area where they served.
- ↑ A third individual is a close STR marker match but does not list any MDKPA.
