Project Background
Any Watkins is invited to participate in the exciting new scientific DNA research, to have their DNA tested, posted on our site, and see if you have a match. By joining the ongoing Watkins Surname Group, you will be able to verify if you connect to one of the existing lines. We hope to make all possible connections and find any common links between the different Watkins' ancestry groups.
If you are male and have the last name of Watkins, or are a female with a close Watkins' male relative who agrees to participate, then visit the web site www.familytreedna.com to learn all about how a simple DNA test can help link you to your earliest ancestor. Let one simple DNA test put you on the same Watkins' branch with whom you share a common Watkins' ancestor. Perhaps members of your branch can help you establish your paper trail back in time as far as they have gone. We urge everyone with the Watkins surname, or one of its variant spellings, to invite their elder male members to join in this project. You will receive a substantial discount on your test by participating in the Watkins Surname Project.
Our hope is that over time, more of the Watkins' history can be understand. Those whose DNA matches the bloodline will help clarify the connections with the traditional genealogies, even if, for their particular family, the paper trail has dried up.
