About us
The ARTERBURN Family in America was previously researched and the branches and several generations
of descendants identified and first published in The Arterburn Cousins (1977). Our primary goal in DNA
testing has been to determine our Y-Haplogroup (Y-SNP), which would reveal the human population of
our ancient ancestral roots, and thereby disclose the Old World origin prior to the arrival in America of our
earliest patrilineal ancestor, which had not been discovered by the authors of The Arterburn Cousins. This
goal was effectively achieved through BIG Y 500 testing in 2018 (see #343708 on the Charts and SNPs
pages at DNA Results on side bar), which is supported by the test results of additional ARTERBURN
descendants. This genetic evidence is also corroborated by historical evidence found in 18th and 19th
century public records of Maryland, Virginia, and Tennessee as summarized in The Arterburn Story,
which can be read online:
