Project Background:
In the Spring of 2001, the Bolling Family Association undertook a y-chromosome DNA study to try and define the various Bolling/Bowling/Bolen/Bouldin immigrants to the U.S. As of today, there are over 200 males involved in this study. The results thus far can be viewed by clicking on Y-Results button above. A total of fourteen families or haplotypes have clearly been identified. The males in these groups share a common Bolling ancestor. In some cases, where there is general agreement among the testees, that males ancestor can be identified. For example, the descendants of Robert Bolling 1646-1709, progenitor of the Red and White Bolling lines is clearly defined in Group 1. However, in Group 5, there is no agreement on a Most Recent Common Ancestor, MRCA.

If you are interested in participating, you must be a male with the Bolling (any spelling) surname. The cost for the test is $99. To enroll send an email to larry@lifecor.com along with your mailing address and a brief family tree from you to your earliest known Bolling ancestor. The kit and an invoice will be mailed to you. Results take about two months.
