DNA results R1b-Z36
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Barnaby DNA Project lists one individual claiming Y-DNA descent from James Barnaby[1]. This individual has not SNP tested and FTDNA predicted they fall under the R1b-M269 Haplogroup. They have tested 111 Y-STRs and plugging their STR values into the NevGen Haplogroup Predictor gives a prediction of falling under R1b U152>Z36 with a probability of 70.02% with subclades of R1b U152>L2 comprising several of the very low probability results also listed.
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of Samuel Rider (and preferably of his son Samuel [II]) to WGS/NGS test to confirm/refute this prediction and further refine the haplogroup/clade for the family.
- ↑ The project also lists a second individual who is a very close Y67 match who does not list a MDKPA (Most Distat Known Patrilineal Ancestor)
