Description
Dedicated to discovering the roots of the Gee Family through DNA studies. Our goal is to use genetics to map the major Gee families in England, America, Australia and elsewhere. Then any male Gee in the England, America, Australia or elsewhere will be able to test to discover through which branch they are related.
Our initial results show that not all Gee’s share a common ancestor during any genealogically significant time.
We are especially looking for participants from:
• Manchester UK Area (especially near Hyde, Stockport, Gee Cross)
• Cheshire (especially near Chester)
• Portsmouth, NH Area
• Yorkshire (especially near Hull or Bishop Burton)
• Australia (especially Gee Pritchard descendent)
• Tennessee (especially near Cleveland, TN or Polk County)
• Devon (especially near Plymouth or Newton Ferrers)
• New York, Virginia, Utah, Texas
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
