Project Goals
The Watkins' DNA project wants to help try to answer questions - who is the Watkins family, where do they come from, and how are we related? None of these questions may be answered absolutely nor immediately since the science behind this is still young and results are still open to discussion.
Your DNA test may show a genetic connection with other Watkins who have submitted their DNA for analysis. You will be notified if you have a match, and you will be introduced to your Watkins DNA relatives. That may help you develop the paper trail back to your common ancestor.
Join us to help identify and tie together the numerous Watkins families as well as prove the various theories that abound regarding our relationships. Please explore the Family Tree DNA website. Order your home-test kit through the project page. Current participants' results and pedigrees can be viewed on the Y results page.
