A BRIDGES, BRIDGE, BRIDGER, BRIDGERS, BRIGES, BRYDGES, Y-DNA Study for these surnames -- All spellings of this surname are invited to join our Project which will be called BRIDGES, for the sake of brevity. Y-DNA members should be males born with the Bridge/r/s surname, or closely match previously posted Y-DNA Bridge/r/s tests. NPE (Non Paternal Event) with Y DNA matching a Bridge/r/s group in the project are welcome to join. Matches among the participants will help us to find which lines are related, rule out which lines are not related, and, hopefully, locate a group's most recent common Ancestor. Mills Bridges was appointed group Administrator Oct. 17, 2008 and sadly passed away in 2018 when Lisa R. Franklin became the new Bridges project administrator and the Bridges website was started at this new location. (Please see the Background, News and Results tabs for more information) Elaine Powell was added as co-administrator in 2019.
