Previous Y-DNA testing
Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower Society[1] has suggested that the Alden lineage belongs to the Y haplogroup R1b-M269, which is quite common in Western Europe. The R1b predictor at Nevgen.org further refines this prediction to P312, but it is split between three of its major subclades (U152, DF27 & L21). Y Elite test results will be able to confirm this and place the Alden lineage more precisely within the broad R1b-P312 clade.
