Description

Welcome to the Remington surname group (see prices below).

There are multiple variants to this name, but the common modern spelling of this surname is Remington. Our objective is to link the several lines of the Remington family in the United States and determine a common origin or source within England. If anyone knows a male using the Remington surname, please refer them to this site.

We currently have three male line Remington surname participants.

Remington 3 is Haplogroup R1b, but may have some deviation in descent legitimacy between 5 and 7 generations back - so the source of that surname consistency may be in doubt. See profile at ysearch.org as KRP6R.

Two others can trace back to at least 1788 using the Remington surname in each generation. Both are Haplo I1 (formerly I1a Haplogroup)and deviate at DYS 390. The connection is presumed to be about 7-11 generations back (or possibly 200 to 300 years ago).

Remington 1 on this common haplogroup can trace use of the surname uninterrupted back to 1801 in Tenn. and probably back to 1788 in NC (profile FCBRC at ysearch.org).

Remington 2 in this haplogroup can trace the surname use back to Manlius, NY and with more work on Illustrious Remington likely back to the Warwick,R.I./Conn./Mass. line that supposedly descended from a John Remington who settled initially in Newbury, Massachusetts in 1637, then to Rowley, Mass. and then Connecticut. This John may be the common ancestor to many of the Remington surname users in America. He and his wife and two sons are thought to have come in about 1637 from the Garrowby/Lund/ Lockington/Rowley area of Yorkshire, England. Some of the Remington family history in that area for the 1600s does talk about this family name and hints at possible religious disputes that may have led to immigration to America. This line was later involved in some witch trial claims in Mass. and may have seeded the Remington line that appears in the late 1600s in the Salem County, southern New Jersey. Once this line got into Conn. and NY it spread out quite rapidly west by the 1800s.

Remington 2 results and contact info can be viewed at ysearch.org as profile 8T9ZJ.

The assumption is this Remington 2 line has Haplogroup I1 results. This would be consistent with a Viking or Angle settlement in the Northumberland area of England in the 600s to 10th century.

Requirements

A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.

MALE LINE TESTING - FOR GENEALOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
Y-DNA12
More info...
Order Now

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of twelve Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. Additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related. It is used to affirm or disprove a genealogical connection on the direct paternal line. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of twelve marker matches.

Y-DNA25

This is a male specific test. It includes a balanced panel of twenty-five Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related. It is used to affirm or disprove a genealogical connection on the direct paternal line. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of twenty-five marker matches.

Y-DNA37

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of thirty-seven Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. This is the recommended test to trace the paternal ancestry of males for genealogy purposes. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related and eliminate unrelated matches. A perfect match at thirty-seven markers indicates the two individuals share common ancestry in recent times. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of thirty-seven marker matches.

Y-DNA67

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of sixty-seven Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related and eliminate unrelated matches. A perfect match at sixty-seven markers indicates a common ancestor in very recent times. This is the ideal test for matching if a break in the paper trail, such as an adoption, is known or suspected. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of sixty-seven marker matches.

FEMALE LINE TESTING - FOR GENEALOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
mtDNA

Both men and women may take this test. It traces the direct maternal line without influence from other lines. This test is for HVR1(16001-16569) of the mitochondrial DNA. A panel of twenty-two SNPs is included for backbone haplogroup placement. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the maternal line. The customer receives a certificate and report generally describing the testing process and the meaning of matches. Results are placed in our database. When another person shows identical results, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form then we will inform them of the match.

mtDNAPlus

Both men and women may take this test. It traces the direct maternal line without influence from other lines. This test is for HVR1(16001-16569) and HVR2(00001-00574) of the mitochondrial DNA. The addition of HVR2 to results reduces the number of matches. A panel of twenty-two SNPs is included for backbone haplogroup placement. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the maternal line. The customer receives a certificate and report generally describing the testing process and the meaning of high resolution matches. Results are placed in our database. When another person shows identical results, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form then we will inform them of the match.

mtFullSequence

Both men and women may take this test. It traces the direct maternal line without influence from other lines. This test is for all three regions of the mitochondrial DNA: HVR1(16001-16569), HVR2(00001-00574), and the coding region (00575-16000). The entire mitochondrial genome is tested and this is the last mtDNA test that a person would need to take. A perfect match indicates a common ancestor in recent times. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the maternal line. The customer receives a certificate and report generally describing the testing process and the meaning of matches. Results are placed in our database. When another person shows identical results, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form then we will inform them of the match.
