Project Surnames
Bembo, Bembow, Bembowe, Benbo, Benbow, Benbowe, Bendbough, Bendbow
Project Background
This project was launched in January 2005, and now includes a number of participants from across the United States, several from different regions of the United Kingdom, one from Canada, and another from the European mainland. All participants have ancestral roots in England.
Since Benbow is an occupational surname, it is reasonable to expect that we will identify at least several different genetic groups.
We are continuing to recruit more members from various family lines of the Benbow surname, particularly those with roots in Wales and Shropshire.
