Lineage VI

Haplogroup I

A Well-Known Widely Dispersed Family

So far, December 2013, there have been seven male participants in the BARTON DNA Project (two Bartons, three Ropers, one Forneaux and one Gray) all with matching ySTR DNA!

Clearly, more male participants are needed together with solid pedigrees to identify where the NPE (Non-Paternity-Event[s]) occurred!

Families included are Isaac Barton b1683 of Ireland, Thomas Barton b1761 of Lincolnshire, and the Roper, Forneaux and Gray families.

If you are a descendant of this family and want to add to this page please contact us.
