The Beddows/oes DNA project was started to identify links between different branches of families from Shropshire and the Welsh Marches that may not be evident from other genealogical evidence.

It explores links between possible branches of the same original family or two (or perhaps even more).

Branches range as follows:

Beddoes of Stretton & Brockton/Lydbury North;
Beddoes of Bishop's Castle;
Beddoes of Cheney Longville & Myndtown;
Beddoes of Hopesay & Colorado;
Beddoe of Withypool (Cleobury Mortimer) & Texas;
Beddoe of Bitterley & Tipton;
Beddow/Bedowe of Hanmer, Co. Flint;
Beddoes of Horderley/Edgton & Diddlebury;
Beddows/oes/owes of Chetton, Bridgnorth & Wolverhampton;
Beddoes of Diddlebury, Culmington & Seifton;
Beddows of Wolverhampton;
Beddoes/ow/ow of Sedgley;
Beddowes/oes of Handsworth & Birmingham;
Beddoes of Lydbury North & Kingswinford;
