About us

We will strive to create a database of names and locations of all of the Barfoot/Barefoot families in the United States, then further our research to across the pond:
  • Create a database based on DNA results
  • Create a database based on traditional documentation
  • Create a database based on family trees and undocumented stories
  • Create a map documenting the migration within the United States
  • Continue researching into Europe

As the Barfoot/Barefoot Family traveled from the East-coast, into the different areas of the newly forming United States, they left descendants in many locations. Through traditional research, many have found paths to their past, but for some, the paper documentation can be only a theory.
Our Goal is to establish DNA data to help prove or disprove some of these theories. With the DNA data, we will strive to create a database of names and locations of all of the Barfoot/Barefoot families in the United States, then further our research to across the pond.

We are trying to locate testers from each male line listed below. We need both males and females who have tested: Ydna, Mtdna, and Autosomal DNA
