The Sackett DNA Project

by Tom Smith

The Association is conducting a DNA project with the primary objective of establishing a genetic link between the lines of Simon Sackett the colonist, 1595-1635, and John Sackett of New Haven, c1623-1684. Test results for those who have participated so far are available here.

We are looking for more volunteers to be tested, particularly males with the surname of Sackett/Sacket who can trace their roots back to John Sackett of New Haven. Kits can be ordered directly at www.familytreedna.com using the form provided. The cost of testing is the responsibility of the participant but we have received a group rate for our project testing.

Further details are available from DNA Project Administrator Tom Smith
