This DNA Project is hosted by the Huxford Genealogical Society (Homerville, Georgia). This southeast Georgia Regional DNA Project is for living descendants of the pioneers of the Wiregrass area of Georgia and the neighboring area of northern Florida.<br><br>Wiregrass Georgia is the region in southeast Georgia that includes the current counties of Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Ben Hill, Berrien, Brantley, Brooks, Camden, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Glynn, Irwin, Jeff Davis, Lanier, Lowndes, Pierce, Thomas, Tift, Turner, Ware, Wayne, Wilcox and Worth. <br><br>The surnames of interest for the Wiregrass Georgia (and Northern Florida) Regional DNA Project include (but are not limited to) those listed below.<br><br>This project is for the purpose of supporting the genealogical efforts of the descendants for all the many pioneer families who settled the Wiregrass Georgia Region.<br><br>The Wiregrass Georgia Regional DNA Project is open to anyone who believes they are (or could be) descendants of one of the area’s pioneer families. This project is both a Y-Chromosome (direct paternal line) and a mitochondrial DNA (direct maternal line) study.<br><br>You are hereby cordially invited to participate in this historic project. Those requesting participation are requested to supply Robert B. Noles with their known genealogies.<br><br>Many surnames were changed during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries due to adoptions, out-of-wedlock births, family disagreements, etc. Therefore, the Y-DNA for many descendants may not match other descendants with the same surname.<br><br>This project will permit comparisons of Y-DNA test results across the spectrum of Wiregrass families in conjunction with the Wiregrass Family Database maintained by Robert B. Noles and the resources of the Huxford Genealogical Society Library. The Wiregrass database contains the published genealogies (and a lot more) from the Folks Huxford and the Huxford Genealogical Society publications

The Jernigan Family Project is open to Jernigan and all obvious variations, (Jarnigan, Journigan, Johniken, Johnigan, etc) who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and dna testing. All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.

The Robeson Co. NC American Indian Regional DNA Project is open to anyone who believes they are (or could be) descendants of an American Indian, and who desire to determine and/or prove their American Indian heritage when their ancestors are believed to originally be from the Robeson Co., North Carolina vicinity. The vicinity includes the counties adjacent to Robeson County in both North and South Carolina. The Lumbee Tribe is but one of the American Indian Tribes that has inhabited the southeast North Carolina and northeast South Carolina area over the past 500 years. The region was also host to many Indians who were not associated with an organized tribe. This project is not associated with any specific tribe, but participation includes people researching their heritage associated with any of the following tribes or groups: Catawba, Cheraws, Chowanoc, Coharie, Croatoan, Indians of Robeson County, Lumbee, PeeDee, Tuscarora , Waccamaw, etc. The Robeson County area and this project cover a melting-pot of Indian cultures and tribal people. This DNA project is available to people who have obtained a Y-Chromosome test (direct paternal line), a mitochondrial DNA test (direct maternal line) and/or an atDNA test (Family Finder) with FTDNA. The primary objective of this project is to establish the genetic profile(s) for the various American Indians in the region, regardless of tribe affiliation, if any. In addition, the results of this project will assist family historians trace their American Indian ancestry and identify their genetic cousins among the other members and their Indian ancestors. The 19th century U.S. censuses identified prominent Indian family surnames from this region to be Brayboy, Brooks, Carter, Chavis, Cumbo, Dial, Hammond, Kersey, Locklear, Lowry, Oxendine and Revels. They are usually listed in the Census as "All Other Free Persons." Other surnames of interest to the this Project include: Allen, Berry, Brewington, Byrd, Cumbaa, Gallagher, Goins, Hersey, Jordan, Kelly, Middleton, Morgan, Stanley, Strickland, Webb and Woolfork. The U.S. census identifies the surnames listed below as names used by some Indian families. Many of these surnames also identify Caucasian and African families as well in the Robeson County vicinity.
