Hi and Welcome to the new Gowdy DNA Project. This surname project is open to males and females born with the surname Gowdy or a variation of the name. Please provide the project administrator with a brief Gowdy family tree with your request to join this project. If your surname is not Gowdy or one of the various spellings you will need special approval of the project administrators before joining this project.

Many advances have been accomplished in DNA testing for genealogy in the past few years. Please consider starting with a 37marker or 67marker YDNA test rather than 12/25 markers. The higher the resolution the better for matches and research.
