About us

  • Use Y-DNA testing for current male-line Girdlestones to show if current branches are related to each other
  • Build up a DNA Framework across the Girdlestone family to help new testers know which branch they relate to most closely. 
  • For related branches, explore what the DNA says about when the different branches split from each other, and more about when our Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) lived. 
  • Help Girdlestone descendants who have hit a brick wall in their research find out which branch they are from via DNA testing. 
  • Learn more about the earliest Girdlestones in the 16th Century, and how their ancestors came to be in the UK hundreds of years earlier.
