Project Goals
Because of our early success, a combination of genealogical research and DNA testing, it became clear that we might be able to benefit others in their Lee family research. We find that DNA testing is a terrific aid in helping to tie together lose ends.
Our goals include adding members of the "Lees of Virginia" Society to give participants a chance to prove or disprove relations to the Lees of Virginia; add Lees of England to help some with their efforts to tie in to the British Isles; and further add Lee members from around the globe to check the spread of Lee lines throughout!
We do not claim to have all the answers. In fact, only through project growth ("the more the merrier" theme) can anything of value be learned. For those interested, we whole heartily invite you to join with us and add your DNA to the pot...there are numerous Lee lines, many different families dating back to earliest of times and a few will even find they are not even truly related to the old Lee families. Remember, many names were taken rather randomly when second names were added in the 'not-so-distant past! The name "LEE" refers to "the meadows"..."of or from the meadows"...the word came from Teutonic expression-traced to a time when English was forming from old Saxon German.
