The ARDERN/ARDERNE Surname DNA Project is being established to create a growing database of DNA profiles of male Ardern descendants to aid in genealogical research. DNA analysis can assist in supporting or refuting the premise that two or more participants descend from a common ancestor. The success of our Project will depend on the number of participants who join our testing group, as well as the documentation of the research connected with each line regarding dates and locations of birth, death, marriage, etc. Any variation of the spelling of Arderne is welcome to join.
