About us
As of March 16, 2004, the DNA patterns are essentially identical indicating that the Canterbury families of Fairfax County, Virginia, are essentially from one family and one male line ancester. Slight differences in the family branches are developing, but more DNA testing and more volunteers are needed to establish the family branch variations.
As of November 2004, the 37 loci results continue to indicate that all of the Canterbury family branches have a common ancestor, but this ancestor most likely existed 300-600 years ago in England. There are three distinct branches in the tree. It is probable that at least two separate immigrations from England occurred in the 1600-1700's.
