Status summary

Completed as of March 23, 2021:

  • Recruiting additional direct male-line Jonathan Higgins descendants for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com

Still to do as of March 23, 2021

DNA results R-DF89

Previous Y-DNA testing

The O'Higgins - Higgins DNA Project Group R1b documents three individuals who state their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Richard Higgins (c1603-1675). None of them have done any Y-SNP testing, but one of them has done 111 Y-STR testing. While FTDNA only predicts the family would fall under R1b-M269, plugging in the 111 Y_STR values into the Nevgen.org haplogroup predictor comes up with: R1b U106>Z381>Z301>S1688>U198>>DF89 with 100% probability.

Further DNA testing needed

NGS/WGS testing of descendants of Richard Higgins (and preferably of Jonathan Higgins) would further refine this prediction.
