This project is for those with the surname Allman, Almond & variations of these names. Our goals are to distinguish family groups, determine geographic origins, solve “brick walls” and validate existing research. As more people test, upgrade, and join this group, there will be more opportunities to move forward on these goals. For Y-DNA matching, Y-67 or greater would be best, but is not required to join the group. It's likely these names don't have single points of origin, but several. In the interest of furthering the shared knowledge of the group, please consider sending at least a single line pedigree to the Group Administrator with names, places, and dates, so that a patriarch list can be maintained for the project. Please be sure that you have entered your oldest known paternal and maternal ancestors along with their locations on your profile page so that their locations will show up on all FTDNA generated maps. Also, please upload your GEDCOM if you have one available. This will allow your matches to see your lineage leading to your oldest known ancestor and allow FamilyFinder matches to locate possible ancestors in common with you. It is best if locations are included in your GEDCOM as well.
