DNA results FT116601

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Rowley DNA Project subgroup: Branch 1 Descendants of Henry Rowley, of Plymouth- 99.9% Match @ MRCA Between 1470-1540 has (among others, all close STR matching) five individuals claiming Henry Rowley (father of Moses) as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA). FTDNA Predicts they fall under R1b-M269.

NGS/WGS testing results

Two individuals in the above project (neither claiming Henry Rowley as their MDKPA) have taken the Big Y-700 test and the fall under: R-P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>PF6658>BY3642>BY3654>FGC30121>BY42877>BY3847>BY42679>FT116601

Further testing needed

Known patrilineal descendants of Henry Rowley (especially through his son Moses) are needed to Big Y test, contact MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com and disclose their lineage in order to refine this clade assignment.
