Project Surnames
Washbourne, Washburn, Washburne
Project Background
This project is for the purpose of exploring the ancestry of the various family lines, regardless of the spelling. Y-chromosome DNA analysis is for determining the ancestry of males of this family. The DNA tests are performed by Family Tree DNA, and the cost for the 12 marker test is $99. More detailed tests are available, and they are discussed on the home page of Family Tree DNA.
You may order the kit from Family Tree DNA and pay by credit card or have an invoice sent to you. You may order a kit for some other family member who does not want to be identified. The data is kept by kit # only.
For the sake of typing, all the various spellings will be consolidated as Washburn - with no preference implied as to which spelling is more important or correct.
