Welcome Cousin! Whether you’ve taken the Y-DNA test or the Family Finder, you likely have Klehn/Kleen ancestry, along with an interest in family history, and a curiosity about genetic genealogy.

After many years of researching the Klehn/Kleen lines and corresponding with researchers from numerous locales, I decided that it was time to take the research to a new level and start a Klehn/Kleen DNA Project. The purpose is to create analytical links from various family researchers; to discover how or if the various families with these surnames are related; to explore our extended family’s origins, migrations and history; and hopefully to break through some of our brick walls by confirming individual membership in specific lines. As such, we hope to get DNA samples of various Klehn/Kleen lineages, both in the U.S. and abroad. Both Y-DNA and Family Finder testers are invited to join the project.

Who are our common ancestors and what were their migration patterns? Can the brick walls be broken? Lets give it a try!!

Surnames contained in the project are:
Klehn, Kleen, Klehen, etc.
