Notes for Hans Gut

We are researching the ancestors of Peter Good (c 1688-1754) [1], who emigrated from Europe to Pennsylvania in the early 1700's.

Several Good immigrants came to Pennsylvania in the early 1700's. Genetic testing of their descendants suggests that they were all descended from a common male ancestor, as are Good descendants currently living in Switzerland, and that they share the Y-DNA L2b haplogroup subclade, which is rare in Europe [2]. The specific relationships among these Good immigrants are uncertain and there is some disagreement among researchers about their relationships [3] [4].

One plausible European lineage, shown here, is based on two researchers. The ancestry back to Andreas Gutt (born 1532) is based on Jane Best [5]. The ancestry before Andreas Gutt is based on the research of Therese Leuzinger-Kamber of Switzerland. [6]
