Project Surnames
Tedford, Telford, Tidford, Tilford, Tillford
Project Background
We all know the surname TEDFORD is not common therefore it has for many years been believed that we of that name were related at some point since the 1750s. I had been told this by my father back in the 1960s.
Genetic testing is now proving not all of us are related with this surname and it's various spellings. We are for the first time in history finding answers in Y-DNA testing.
With the use of our DNA project we now have the means to help connect the dots and make it clear as to why some of us run into walls believing that for some reason the public records were lost or destroyed by fire or some other calamity.
Are we related to Telford, Tilford, Tedford families back in Scotland, Ireland and England or Europe? We need these family males to DNA test in our project and represent your line to prove who is related across the ocean.
Various family lines in America and Canada need to be tested in order
to sort who is related to what family group.
