Vermont line overlay charts

Vermont line charts

These combination DNA/genealogical charts show test participants' results superimposed over traditional genealogical charts. The charts are abbreviated for simplicity, with numbers of generations being shown where names are omitted. Letter sequences under each name are abbreviated DNA signatures, showing only those markers that differ. The full DNA signature of each individual is available via a pop-up detail panel—the "+" sign. Ancestors' DNA signatures are derived from the test results of their partipating descendants.

This page has charts of the ancestral lines of participants whose results match closely with those whose genealogical paper trails identify them as descendants of Joseph Sackett of Vermont. Paper trails of some of these participants have not yet been fully established, but their DNA confirms their descent from the Vermont line.

One participant, Loren Wayne Sacket, who has DNA test results matching those of descendants of Joseph Sackett of Vermont, is a descendant of James Sackett (1804–1884).

Weygant, in The Sacketts of America, recorded James's father as Daniel Sackett, a descendant in the line of Simon Sackett the colonist (the Thanet line).

This DNA test result suggests that Weygant's identification of James's ancestry was in error and that, rather than descending from the Thanet line, he was descended from the Vermont line.
