A telegraph article in the UK states:

"The founder of the Microsoft empire's family has been traced back through 13 generations to the mill town of Halifax.
His great grandfather 11 times removed is believed to have been Jonas Halstead, born in 1611, the son of a yeoman clothier from nearby Northowram."

In FTdna, both Abraham and Jonas Halstead of Yorkshire are positive for R1b1a2. Clade looks Germanic, but someone here might be able to confirm from these markers.

I didn't get the reference, but you will do a great job, just reading the timestamp and number of replies before yours made me feel like in a cemetery.

It is true though the dead are the most interesting.
