Hunnewell - Honnywill - Honniwell - Y-DNA-700 results at FamilyTree DNA

Posted by Pierre Langlais (Hunnewell) on 6/7/2020, 23:20:41

Hello, for all descendants of the Hunnewell/Honniwell/Honnywill families in Devon, or elsewhere.

I would like to inform anyone interested that I have posted results for an Extensive Y-DNA (Big-Y-700) test at Family Tree DNA. Being a male descendant of the 'Hunnewell's', my results should match to other direct male decendants of the same lineage. This would confirm the Devon origins (Ashton Church) of the New England colonist. Even a less expensive Y-111 test would surely match but with less precision.

Hi Pierre

Thanks for sharing. I don't currently have anyone with that surname in the Devon DNA Project. If you want to confirm your Devon origins perhaps you can try and recruit men with the surname who have recent documented ancestry from Devon. This is the sort of thing that is best done within a structured surname project.

If you come across any Hunnewells (or variants) with recent documented Devon origins I would be happy to include them in the Devon DNA Project.

Best wishes
