About us

** MEMBERSHIP IN THIS PROJECT IS RESTRICTED TO MALES OF THE SURNAME LYNN, OR ONE OF ITS VARIANTS, AND TO MALES WHOSE Y-DNA PROVES THEM TO BE SUCH ** The primary goals of this project are to identify and connect those Lynns, Lynes, etc. who share a common direct patrilineal ancestor. Since Y-DNA is the only type of DNA that can identify direct patrilineal ancestry ... (1) Y-DNA testing is recommended for membership in the project, and (2) results for other types of DNA tests are not included in our genetic reports. The Lynn/Lynd/Lyne/Linn/Lind surname has several distinct and separate origins and even more spellings. In some cultures, particularly the United States and Britain, the spelling of surnames was relatively inconsistent even into the 19th century. This phenomenon is important to bear in mind, whether following a paper trail or studying your family's DNA portrait. However, it is the DNA itself which most reliably defines family relationships. We look forward to the participation of males whose surname is spelled either Lin, Lind, Line, Linn, Linne, Lyn, Lynd, Lyne, Lynn, or Lynne.
