SENNETT descendants and DNA

[corinne]

Interesting DNA result (in the Sennett surname study at familytreeDNA.com) that seems to indicate that Jephthah Sennett (b about 1685, lived St Michaels Mount, and was the progenitor of most of the Cornish Sennetts) may have originated from Ireland.   The DNA is a relatively uncommon haplogroup for the British Isles and a match with Sennetts/Sinnotts of anglonorman origins in Co Wexford.

This is a single result and yet to be validated, so if there are any other male, direct line Sennett descendants out there who would like to join the DNA study, please PM me or contact me through the Sennett surname project at the Guild of One Name Studies.   Discounted Y-DNA tests are available.

I'd also be keen to get one or more Welsh Sinnetts to test, as the hypothesis is that they will also share the same genetic origins.
