Project Surnames:| Prothero(e) | Prydderch | Prytherch | Rhydderch | | Rodderick | Roderick | Rodric | Rodrick | | Rodrigue | Rodrigues | Rodriguez | Rotherick | | Rothero(e) | Rothrock | Rytherch | Project Background: | This project was begun to determine the relationships among Welsh Roderick and Rhydderch families. Roderick and Prydderch (and their variants were derived from Rhydderch, and today there are very few Rhydderch families living in Wales. These are rare Welsh names, and we suspect there may be as few as 15 different families who assumed the surname. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Goals: We hope as many as possible with the surname from Wales will participate, preferably choosing the 25 or 37 marker tests.
Because there are other ethnic groups with the name Roderick, i.e. French Canadian from Rodrigue, German from Rothrock and other forms, Hispanic from Rodriguez, Portugese also from Rodrigue and perhaps others, we hope they will also participate, so that ultimately we will have enough data to determine the ethnic origin of a Roderick if it is not known. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

It is gratifying that the database is growing rapidly. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Results: | We have several analyses of Welsh Rodericks, already suggesting 3 distinct families. Except for one, a family from Swansea from the G haplogroup, they are all of haplogroup R1b. One very large family from Llantrisant, Glamorgan, has been studied in considerable detail. Analyses of this family made it possible, with further supporting genealogical data, to match an ancestor into this family. One German Roderick family is from haplogroup I | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.
