Kelso family DNA project

Project Background

The Kelso DNA family project is open to all Kelso families across the world and those with any of the various surname spellings.

Are all Kelso's related in Scotland, Ireland and America? We need KELSO males to test in the project to answer these questions.

"Immigrant JOHN KELSO of PA and VA" by Douglas Kelso, Jr., 1995 shows lineages from this man. Also Douglas Kelso shows other immigrants to America in his book pages 99-102:
-James Kelso from Scotland to New Windsor, NY
-Richard Kelso, MA Bay Colony, Ipswich to NH
-William Kelsey from England 1632 Cambridge, MA and CT
-Richard Kelson 1659 Warwicke Co, VA
-John Kello 1684 from Leith, Scotland to Carolina
-John Kelsey imported by Thomas Parram
-Hugh Kelso 1718 MA 1718 from Londonerry, Ireland
-James Kelson ship from Bristol, England
-John Kelsey 200 acres 1744 Adams Co, PA
and many others.


Are John KELSO and William Kelso b 1652 of Ayr related?


DNA testing can help us bridge the gap to Scotland and Ireland.
Please participate in the Kelso project.

Females who carry the Kelso surname are welcome to test their MtDNA and join the project. MtDNA test results will be posted on our website.

Please join our DNA project and help answer these questions.

If you have any questions about DNA testing or the project please contact me.
