Generational Lineage Proof

Christopher St. John, Esquire of Highlight (1547–1616) | Y-DNA MRCA

The Gold Standard of the St. John Genealogy Project. This is not merely a research packet; it is a formally closed forensic reconstruction of the MRCA of the American Highlight lineage. This 24-page Generational Lineage Proof serves as the Genetic Anchor for the entire project, representing the culmination of 12 independent Big Y-700 DNA tests used to triangulate and prove this descent and 17 years of forensic research.

Why This Record is Unique

• DNA MRCA Status: Christopher is the Most Recent Common Ancestor for two major Y-DNA descendant groups (R-CTS649). This report provides the biological and documentary bridge that validates the results of every modern tester in these branches.
• Exhaustive Primary Evidence: Unlike standard lineage proofs, this GLP correlates rare Tudor-era legal filings, including the 1532 Heraldic Visitation, the 1566 Royal Grant of wardship, and the 1616 Llandaff Probate.
• Project Funding Impact: As a premium tier publication, 100% of the proceeds from this Proof are restricted to the St. John DNA Testing Fund, directly financing the next Big Y-700 kit to break further brick walls in the project.

Professional Contents
