The Association was formed to enhance the relationships and conduct genealogical research of and for the descendents of Rene Cossitt who emigrated from France and his wife, Ruth (Porter) Cossitt, who was born in Hartford County, Connecticut.

The Board of Directors of the Cossitt Family Association is proud to announce the commencement of the Cossitt Family DNA Surname Project. We have a special website set up at Family Tree DNA. Cousin Cam and Cousin James have sent in their DNA test kits samples and their results will be published on the site as soon as they are available.
