  1. Y-DNA confirmation can be verified via Wolcott DNA Project at FTDNA
  • WOLCOTT/WALCOTT DNA PROJECT - http://www.wolcottfamily.com/dna.html
    • Descendants of John Woolcott of Newbury (c.1635-1690), son of John Woolcott of Watertown, (1599-1638), third cousin of Henry Wolcott, the immigrant, show the Wolcott norm with a 35th marker that is 2 steps above the CT/NJ Wolcotts markers. In the extended tests there is also a difference in the 14th from last marker from the Connecticut Wolcotts. John's descendants include the Pennsylvania Wolcotts, described in the article, "The Illusive Wilcotts", found on the "Descendants of John Wolcott of Watertown" page at this web site, and the Delaware and North Carolina Wilcotts who have DNA with the differentiation that divides the Connecticutt Wolcotts and the Massachusetts Wolcotts. John1 and John2 are the names used to distinguish two half-brothers named Johns, one born at Brookfield, and the other believed to have been born while his father was living in the wilderness with native Americans. They are in haplogroup RU106>L48>Z11>S16701>Y19921<Y19922>Y22158.

Fine. Since the father's confirmed with DNA relationship status indicator was still causing a DB 213 error, it was cleared. The DNA confirmation is not cited properly.

This article gives an example of the proper source documentation when confirming genealogy with Y-DNA on WikiTree.

Thank you.

If there isn't a proper source citation the "Confirmed with DNA" relationship status should be removed (by you or another member). -- WikiTree help for confirming with DNA
posted by John Kingman
The confirmed with DNA status is based upon the ongoing research of the Wolcott Family Society's DNA project, which can be found through the link provided in the sources.
posted by John Beardsley
The father's "confirmed with DNA" relationship status indicator was removed because the DNA confirmation is not properly documented. You need at least two DNA tests to confirm genealogy with Y-DNA.

Please see this Help article on Y-DNA confirmation for more information and guidance on how to provide the proper source documentation to confirm genealogy with Y-DNA.

Also recall WikiTree Honor Code VIII: We cite sources. Without sources we can't objectively resolve conflicting information.

Thank you.
