Cecil-Cissell DNA Project

Results

Results from test kits 31919 and 57787 show very close matches. Test kit 31919 represents a descendant of the John Cecil (Cissell) who came to Maryland in 1658 and died there in 1698. Test kit 57787 is from a descendant of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter (B. 5 Mar 1542, d. 8 Feb 1623). This indicates that both of these individuals do have a common ancestor. TRMCA calculations are not accurate enough to identify the actual common ancestor, but do suggest that he should be in the time frame of the well known pedigree of the Exeter Cecil family.


Results from test kit numbers 31919 and 54035 showed matches for 24 out of 25 markers. These individuals are related to the John Cecil (Cissell) who came to Maryland in 1658. The 6 samples provided to date indicate that there are at least two family Branches in the US and two in the UK.
