Tests results at FTDNA and 23&ME by multiple male line descendants of James Rowe Sr, including several male line descendants of Stephen Rowe and the lines of his brothers James Rowe Jr and Joseph Rowe, have determined that Stephen Rowes YDNA haplogroup was R-A195. This is part of a YDNA haplogroup known as "Irish Type 2" (haplogroup CTS4466),[5] a lineage strongly associated with southern Ireland and the Uí Fidgenti in particular. (FTDNA Uí Fidhgeinte project). Research on this field of inquiry about the origins of the Rowe/Roe family is currently being coordinated at the FTDNA Rowe Surname Project.
