No identification so far but a huge update on Luce County John Doe, Michigan!

Knapp said she's been unable to find any close relatives in DNA databases and has looked as far back as the early 1800s in Poland and Germany.

This John Doe also has very distant Colonial America relationships − ties to families in Virginia in the early 1700s. But the Doe Project said he had no close relations that could tie him to more recent ancestors.

According to the Doe Project, one branch of his family may have settled in Gage County, Nebraska.

One of the project's theories is that Doe was Canadian − his Colonial relations were British sympathizers who settled in Canada after the Revolutionary War. Or, he could have been adopted or raised by someone other than his biological father. It's also possible either he or his family came to the United States from Germany, recently or decades ago.

But how he wound up in Luce County, the home of Tahquamenon Falls and miles of streams and rivers, including Heminghway's Big Two Hearted River, is a mystery

The DNA Doe project is now urging people of Polish and German ancestry who immigrated to Michigan and Nebraska to upload their DNA to two genealogy websites: GEDmatch and Family Tree DNA. Also encouraged to do the same are people whose ancestry includes the surnames Sattleberg, Radke, Papke, and Zabel.

Researchers want DNA of 4 families to help solve mystery of body found in Michigan in 1987
