About us
The Eddy DNA project was begun in July 2009. DNA testing may be able to prove or disprove some of the traditional genealogies of the Eddy/Edie/Eady/Edy/Addy surname. Not all surnames in the project have had traditional genealogies preserved so DNA may help participants to find related people so they can compare their knowledge and add to the their family tree. If you are related to any Eddy variation spelling and have taken an Autosomal Family Finder test you are encouraged to join this project also.
