Status summary

Completed as of April 15, 2021:

  • Recruiting direct male-line descendants of John Sawyer for SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond T. Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)

Still to do as of April 15, 2021

  • NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of John Sawyer to place the family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

DNA results TBD

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Sawyer DNA Project currently does not have any Y-DNA descendants of John Sawyer.

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of John Sawyer to WGS/NGS test to discover the haplogroup/clade for the family.
