Status summary

Completed as of October 1, 2020:

• Recruiting additional direct male-line Nicholas Snow descendants for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond T. Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)
• Y-SNP predicted to fall under I1-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647>Z61>Z60

Still to do as of October 1, 2020

• NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Nicholas Snow to firmly place family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

Previous Y-DNA testing

As of 1 Oct 2020, the DNA Project Subgroup: "Lineage 1" lists 21 individuals whose STR match each other.^[1] None of these individuals have done any Y-SNP testing, but three have tested 111 Y-STRs. FTDNA has predicted the family would fall under the I-M253 clade. Plugging in one of the 111 STR results into the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction Tool gives a result that the haplogroup is not supported by the tool, but six of the top ten haplogroups listed fall somewhere under I1-M253>DF29>Z58>Z59>CTS8647>Z61>Z60.

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of Nicholas Snow to WGS/NGS test to both confirm this prediction as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
