Project Background
This project is part of the Bowes (and variants) One-Name Study. The majority of information about us can be found there. For more information about joining this project, please visit the DNA Project link at that website.
The Bowes (and variants) DNA Project includes many variants and serves two related missions:
1) It helps individual participants grow knowledge about their own family. Individual participants can join to find genetic matches to other participants so they can share knowledge about their unique family history. They also learn what haplogroup their paternal ancestors belong to, whether Nordic, Western European, Northern Irish, Mideast, Native American, Jewish, Niall of the Nine Hostages or some other.
2) It furthers knowledge in the Bowes (and variants) One-Name Study through the Guild of One-Name Studies. This study encompasses all families with the Bowes surname or one of its many variants, regardless of country of origin. It focuses on the origins of the surname(s), the distribution and concentrations of the surname(s), the various lineages, the haplogroups and developing a database of all records relating to these names.
While traditional genealogy zooms in on a particular pedigree, one-name studies zoom out on a surname generally. By joining the project you can further your own family research while contributing essential data to the study of these surnames worldwide. By contributing data to the One-Name Study you help provide greater context for understanding your unique family story in the context of the larger story of your surname.
The One-Name Study and DNA Project share a Yahoo! group. Think of it as a library of annotated Links, Files, Databases, and a 'Conference Room' (mailing list) relevant to these projects. It also provides individual Bowes (and variant) family researchers with quality tools and resources to begin or further their personal journey into this name.
These three sites are being developed as the 'go to' place for Bowes genealogy!
While the variants listed in the project often appear unrelated phonetically, they have been chosen using Irish and English surname origin research, along with some of our participants' names. We cast a wide net in this project to try to gather any possible evidence that could substantiate historical theories about the origins of our surnames, even if there may be some reason to doubt those theories.
