Previous Y-DNA testing
The Drew Family Y-DNA Project Group: 0 - John of Plymouth et.al. currently has three individuals.[1] None of the three have done any Y-SNP testing, but one of the three has done Y-67 STR testing[2] Family Tree DNA predicts the family falls under Haplogroup J2, but plugging in the 67 STR markers into NevGen.org haplogroup predictor gives several results which fall under J-M172>M410>CTS7683>L26>PF5088>PF5125>Z2227>Z1846>M67>Z8147>PF5132>M92.[3]
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing would confirm or refute this haplogroup assignment and likely refine it further.
- ↑ One of the individuals does not claim John Drew as their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA), but has the modal values for the 37 STR results of the two other individuals in this group, both known to be Y-DNA descendants of John Drew.
- ↑ This individual is the one who lists a different MDKPA, but their Y-DNA signature indicates he is a Y-DNA descendant of John Drew.
- ↑ NevGen gave the number 1 prediction as M92>CTS2906>S8230 with a 72.73% probability.
