Several lines descending from Ralph Leigh are well documented in the Leigh Descendancy Chart at the Welsh Leigh web site from traditional research. These lines are of the I1 haplogroup. The likely 67-marker Y-DNA of Ralph Leigh has been identified, and the researchers are hoping that DNA will provide a bridge to the ancestors of Ralph Leigh. They believe those ancestors lived in England, but they have no genealogical documents that substantiate that belief.
Three descendants of Ralph Leigh were involved in our determination of Ralph's Y-DNA markers. They are referred to as a descendant of Samuel Leigh, a descendant of Rector Daniel Leigh, and a descendant of William Leigh. Their ysearch IDs are 66XXS, H8G3U, and KGYRY, respectfully. You can use ysearch to display the values of their markers.
The descendant of Samuel has a perfect match with the markers that we believe belong to Ralph Leigh, and this person is the reference for the genetic matches reported by ysearch. The descendant of Rector Daniel Leigh has a genetic distance of 4 to Ralph Leigh, and the descendant of William Smith has a genetic distance of 1 to Ralph Leigh.
