The Lickfold DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today!

Our project is just getting started, and we expect to make some exciting discoveries.

Participating is an opportunity to uncover information not provided in the paper records, which will help with your family history research. We hope to prove that all branches of the Lickfold family really are related. As the project progresses, the results for the various branches will also provide information about the evolution of the surname.

The surnames in this DNA Project are being researched as part of the Lickfold one-name study. You can learn more about this research, with its associated family trees, by visiting the Lickfold family web site, and/or by contacting the Group Administrator:

The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a Lickfold or variant in your direct male line, but you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, you will need to find a direct line male in your family tree to participate and represent your branch of the Lickfold family.

We encourage men who order a Y DNA test to order 37 markers (or 67 markers), if possible. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, though this costs a little more.

Both men and women may also be interested in learning about their direct female line, which would be their mother, their mother's mother, and back in time. Both men and women inherit mtDNA, although only women pass it on. You would order a mtDNA test. For matches in a genealogical time frame, order the mtDNA Plus test.
