Project Background
For decades those of us that have researched our GUNTER families have wondered if all Gunter's that came to America from Europe are related. If not, then who belongs to what family?
Gunter is not a common surname. How are we related to GUNTER - GUNTHER - GUENTHER- GONTER -GINTER families in Europe?
This project is open to ALL Gunter families across the world with any of the various surname spellings some of which include GUNTER, GUNTHER, GUENTHER GYNTER, GINTER, GANTER, GONTER and GONNER.
We now have project participates with ancestors from Germany and France looking for DNA matches. We welcome males that carry our surnames to DNA test in this project across the world.
One of the most famous Gunter descendants Will Rogers was a popular humorist and movie star that died in 1935. His ancestor John Gunter the Indian Trader and Indian wife Ghe-go-he-li (Katherine) settled in what is now Marshall Co, AL. John and Katerine had seven children: Samuel, Edward, John Jr, Aky, Catherine, Elizabeth, and Martha. This Gunter line is group #3 (YELLOW group) on the chart in our project. Thanks to DNA testing in this project we have been able to find who belongs to this family.
If you are a male Gunter - Gunther please DNA test with our Gunter family project. Who would you DNA match? Who is your Gunter family? Who are your cousins? Where did your Gunter ancestor orginate? Help find the answer to these questions by testing in our world-wide project.
A female Gunter who is researching her paternal Gunter -Gunther family line will need to find a living male from her paternal Gunter-Gunther lineage to Y-DNA test in the project.
We can now prove for the first time in history there is more than one GUNTER family line that came to Colonial America thanks to Y-Chromosome DNA testing!
We have eleven different Gunter/Gunther/Gonter/Ganter family lines in this project from America, England, Germany and France.
Where were your Gunter - Gunther's from? Who would you match?
If you are researching your paternal Gunter's in America and Europe or any country please join us in this wonderful project !!
Thanks so much.
