About us
Welcome
The Musick family DNA project is an adjunct of The Musick Family Association of America. The goals of the project are:
1) Establish a DNA baseline for the descendents of George Musick, Sr., 1664-1754 of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. George Sr. fathered six sons; Elexious, Ambrose, Ephraim, George, Abraham, and Daniel. The intent is to obtain DNA samples from at least two male descendents of each of George, Sr.'s six sons, though additional samples are welcomed and encourged.
2) Having established a DNA baseline will allow those beliving they are descended from George, Sr. to verify their relationship through comparison with their personal DNA testing.
3) Additionally, there are several families with the surname Musick or a variant thereof. Some believe they are not related to the descendents of George, Sr. and some are not sure. The baseline will allow comparison between the various Musick families scattered around the world. Through this comparison, connecting some families and disconnecting others, it is hoped we can gain insight into George, Sr.'s origins prior to his immigrating to the Virginia Colony. Likely origins are England or Wales.
As the project progresses, goals will be adjusted to reflect the discovery of new information. All ideas and suggestions are welcome. Please contact the project administrator with any questions.
Thanks
