Comments on John Andrews Sr.

Question

On 19 Aug 2020 Jamie Falcon wrote on Andrews-153:

I am interested in finding out the origins of John Andrews (Andrews-153). I have traced my Y-DNA back to this individual with multiple matches. I believe I have found Y-DNA matches to descendants of Francis (Andrews-926) as well as William (Andrews-1045) that appear to match with limited Y testing, but have had limited communication from the test takers. Does anyone have any leads as to his origins or suggestions on where or how to start looking?

Answer 1

This appears to be a well-researched profile.  There may not be a way to trace him back further unless you can find the ship on which he traveled (and, thus, a starting place to scan parish records in England).  Records are destroyed by flood and fire unless the subject is among the nobility and may have the information recorded in multiple places.
