Four sons of John Jacob, Sr. left male lineages that survive today. Descendants of each line have tested. Click Results tab.
The project has united another Jacob clan unrelated to the Maryland John Jacob, Sr. family.
One member of the Kentish Jacob family tested and the test indicated no relation to John Jacob, Sr. This considerably weakens the unsupported assertion that the family originated in Kent, England.
