About us
This is a popular and outstanding project with 21 out of 26 members who have tested their Big Y-DNA with the last name of Bankson, Bankston, Bankstone, Bengtsen, Bengtson, Bengtsson and/or descendants of Anders Bengtsson - born 1640 near Gothenburg/Göteborg in the parish of Fåxarn [Fuxerna] and Hanström farm, Sweden, immigrated to America in 1656. On 22 November 1668, he married Gertrude Rambo, the 18-year-old daughter of Peter Gunnarsson Rambo and Brita Matsdotter. We encourage you to contact us for assistance to take the FTDNA test and upgrade it to the Big Y. We encourage you to join the Swedish Colonial Society and learn more about your ancestor Anders Bengtsson: https://colonialswedes.net/list-of-current-forefathers/
