About us
Welcome to the Dawbarn DNA project which is part of the Dawbarn One-Name Study registered with The Guild of One-Name Studies based in London.
We welcome all those with a Dawbarn surname or ancestor and would love it if you joined us. By sharing our DNA results we can help uncover how the various Dawbarn families are connected, possibly where there are no paper records to help us.
Our main focus is Y-DNA testing of male Dawbarns, if you’re a female do you have male family members, father, brother, cousin who could take a Y-DNA test and join us? Y-DNA passes from father to son and so links to the direct male Dawbarn line going back through generations.
Autosomal DNA results from anyone with a Dawbarn ancestor are also welcome. If you’ve tested elsewhere you can upload your results to Family Tree DNA.
Everyone who participates in the project helps us all to understand the Dawbarn family story.
