Dietrich and Dieter DNA tests, particularly Y-DNA

Key Dietrich/Dieter ancestor, usually a migrant to America, followed by descendants (indented) who have taken a Y-DNA test.

Grouped by Genetic Family, per Dietz-Dietrich project sponsored by FamilyTree DNA. "2GGS" = second great grandson, etc.

See also this Discussion of Dietrich Y-DNA test results, including possible locations for the origins for identified genetic families.

Johann Adam Dietrich (abt 1710-abt 1775) & his son Johann Adam Dietrich (Jr) (1740-1817), mgr 1751 & settled Berks PA; Johannes Dietrich (abt 1754-1785) may be another son of Adam Sr, b in Berks. Elisha Teeters (b 1762) is clearly a male-line Dietrich, possibly b in Lancaster PA, son of George Hans Dietrich (bef 1736-abt 1780). Johann Dietrich (abt 1769-bef 1833) migr bef 1793 Hungary, then bef 1819 South Russia.

Close match (GD=0 for Y-37) with living Swiss, so Swiss origins post 1600 probable but paper trail is lacking.

Family name Dedrick/Dederick pre-1850 is largely restricted to descendants of the 1710 New York migrants Christian Diederich (abt 1660-?) and Johann Wilhelm Dietrich (abt 1660-1716), believed to be brothers. However, no paper trail to the two results below has been reported.
