About us
This project presents an attempt to identify Paternal (Y-DNA) matches to the descendants of Mathias Santken, b. c. 1550, Antwerp (or possibly Denmark or Germany). He is the grandfather of Mathias Santken (Sension) immigrant ancestor of the Colonial St. Johns emanating from Dorchester, Ma./Norwalk, Ct.. We are widening the margins in an effort to further understand the ontology of the name,its' ultimate derivation, and to locate potential genetic family members. To fully understand the origins of the colonial ancestor please read the article entitled, "Origins of Mathias and Nicholas Sension Determined" from the April 2013 issue of NEHGS, The Register.
