About us

Welcome to the FTDNA arm of the Jarrell DNA Project. This two-pronged study accepts test results from those who descend, or suspect they descend, from families with the name Jarrell, Jarrells, Jarrel, Jerrills, FitzJarrell, Gorrell, etc. Our goals are to solve group and individual brick walls, and to understand how various Jarrell branches are related, by utilizing the four major types of genealogical DNA. To do this, the project uses the tools here and on GEDmatch.com. FTDNA tools are especially helpful when analyzing Y- and mtDNA, so that is the focus here. GEDmatch.com supports the other half of the project because it has great tools for autosomal DNA and X-DNA group studies, and is free of cost at the basic level. Autosomal DNA tests include FTDNA's Family Finder, Ancestry, 23andMe, and MyHeritage, with X-DNA often thrown in the mix. In order to make the most of the data, all FTDNA members who have Family Finder or autosomal results with other companies are asked to upload one of those kits to GEDmatch. DNA data alone doesn't reveal much, so members are also asked to submit directions to an online tree or provide their Jarrell lineage . New members receive an email from the administrators explaining these steps and offering help with GEDmatch uploads. Additionally, the administrators keep some confidential offline records. All members receive an email newsletter 2x per year featuring new discoveries and DNA education. Information about the various lines is also posted on our FTDNA public page. DNA members and non-members alike are welcomed to request to join the Jarrell Descendants FB page, which has become a friendly research community. When doing so, please answer all of the screening questions and agree to follow the page rules. Questions, suggestions, and new information can be posted on the project’s public feed or emailed to the administrators. In fact, we will suffer greatly from loneliness if we don’t hear some other voices, so please share freely.
