Group Administrator: Roberta &. Barbara Estes restes@comcast.net
Project Surnames:
| D'Este | East | Easte | Easter | | Eastes | Eastis | Eastridge | Este | | Estes | Estice | Esties | Estis | | Estridge | Eustace | Eustice |
Project Background:
This project was begun in 2002 with one participant. We have grown significantly since that time and now have about 30 participants. We hope to shortly identify differentiating mutations what mark the various lines of Abraham Estes sons.
February 2006 - So far, we have participants from all of the sons of Abraham the immigrant except for Samuel. Two lines have no discernable mutations, so far, and match Abraham the immigrant's DNA pattern exactly. |
Project Goals:
This project serves multiple purposes; to identify the various Estes lines descending from the immigrant, Abraham Estes of Virginia, to compare all of the Estes/Eastes, Este, d'Este lines worldwide and eventually, to attempt to confirm or dispell the Italian Renaissance Roots D'Este/Estes family myth.
MOST WANTED - Any Italian d'Este or male directly descended from that line. |
Project News:
March 2, 2007
We have now done the deep ancestry SNP testing at two different labs on two different Abraham descendants, and we have determined that our official haplogroup is R1b1c*. The star means that we have been tested for the subgroups R1b1c1 through R1b1c9, and we are not those. Today, that probably doesn't mean much to people, but someday this subgrouping will help us further isolate our ancestors and where they were in what timeframe. In the mean time, the only way discoveries are made it for people to have this testing performed so that the scientists can look for that grouping and associated population migration.
February 14, 2006 - We welcome the Estridge/Eastridge family to the Estes project. Like we did with the Easter group, we'll see if this is one family or two distinct familys.
By the way, we're still looking for descendants of any Moses Estes to test. We are also looking for descendants of Samuel Estes, son of Abraham, to test.
January 2006 - the Easter folks have formed their own group. Only one Easter is an Estes so far, so we kept him. Best of luck and we'll continue to work with their group administrator in the case of any other matches.
4-15-05 Welcome to the Easter folks. The Easter family group has asked to join the Estes group. It will be interesting to see if the two lines are related.
We are currently looking for descendents of Moses of SC and Moses of Halifax Co. Va to test. If you are from these lines and are interested, please contact Roberta, the surname administrator. |
Project Results:
| We have identified several lines who are unique and descend through the children of Abraham Estes, the Virginia immigrant. We have also tested an Estes from England as well as Estes folks who descend from the Northern line of Estes familys, who are descended from the same Estes family in Deal, Kent, England in the 1500s. We have also identified some new lines of Estes here in the states, probably through undocumented adoptions. |
DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members
* Haplogroups in green have been
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have
been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the
individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease
and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for
ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then
we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the
kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider
ordering a SNP confirmation test.
