DNA

James's line needs another direct male line representative to confirm our sole DNA signature for this line. See the WIGHT Surname DNA project to explore connections between WIGHT families on the Scottish Borders.
With BigY700 the initial haplogroup prediction of R-M269 became R-BY31019 (2018) and with a subsequent (non Wight) match (2019) has been refined to R-BY176503.[3]
