Status summary

Completed as of October 31, 2020:

  • Recruiting additional direct male-line descendants of William Sprague for further 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 October 31, 2020

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

Biography

First Generation

DNA results R1b-S3933

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Sprague DNA Project Group: "Hap'group R1b - Genetic Family A" has two individuals claiming William Sprague as their Most Distant Known Personal Ancestor (MDKPA). One match in the project (who does not list any ancestor) has Y-SNP tested to R1b-U106>>Z8. Plugging in the modal values for this group into the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction tool gives a result of: R1b-U106>Z381>Z301>>Z30>>Z8 >>Z346>>S3933

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of William Sprague to WGS/NGS test to refine it further and delineate descendant clades.
