The Sackett Family Association - Sackett DNA project results table

Sackett DNA Project test results

A total of 22 Sackett descendants have participated so far in the Sackett DNA Project.

Participants have variously taken 12-, 25-, 37-, or 67-marker tests, usually upgrading to the more detailed tests if the 12-marker results are inconclusive.

Matched DNA results are found to fall in two distinct groups, one of 13 participants (the Thanet line), and one of 6 (the New Haven line). The DNA results of 3 participants are unmatched.

The Thanet line

The Thanet line, headed by Thomas Sackett the elder of Thanet, Kent, England, is the predominant ancestral line of the American Sacketts, through Simon Sackett the colonist. It is also the line of all known present-day English descendants with the Sackett name.

Thirteen participants with closely matching DNA have been placed in this group. Of these, eight have well-documented paper trails back to Thomas Sackett the elder of Thanet.

The ancestries of participants in this line are shown on the Thanet line DNA/genealogical overlay charts.

The New Haven line

The New Haven line, headed by John Sackett of New Haven, is the second ancestral line of the American Sacketts. Its English roots have not been identified.

Six participants with closely matching DNA have been placed in the New Haven group. Of these, three have genealogical paper trails back to Joseph Sackett of Vermont. One has a well-documented ancestry back to John Sackett of New Haven.

The ancestries of participants in this line are shown on the New Haven line DNA/genealogical overlay charts
