About us
This Surname Study Project uses DNA to assist family members with documented ancestry to confirm their kinship and others to genetically discover with their ancestry by taking a simple, painless cheek swab. Families whose direct paternal line has the surnames LaViolette, Vilet, Vilett, Villet, Viol, Viola, Violet, Violett, Violette, Violetto, Vylet, Vylit, Vyolet and/or similar derivatives worldwide are invited to participate.
Kinship to families with known ancestry is not required.
Females may enlist their father, brother, uncle or male cousin to participate by proxy. Adoptees, in-laws, grandchildren and others may also qualify for participation by proxy.
