Purpose and Goals
This is a genealogical study of the Norman family using DNA analysis to validate earlier research and to find connections between families.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the descendants of the Normans who entered Virginia and Maryland in the 1600s and 1700s. We want to discover the relationships among the groups of Norman descendants scattered over the North East, Middle Atlantic, South and Midwestern United States up to about 1800.
Our first Goal: To produce a documented genealogical and DNA history of the Norman family from their entrance in the New World in the 1600s to about 1800.
Objectives:
Develop a network of participants who will:
become DNA donors.
contribute to the Norman research.
contribute toward the cost of DNA testing.
Provide analysis of DNA results.
