Welcome to the Pommier surname project at FamilyTreeDNA. “Pommier” means apple tree in French and is commonly associated with the Northern departments of France such as Normandy and Bretagne / Brittany. We established this project in April 2011 to pursue the following goals: - to connect distant cousins - to help family researchers prove, correct and discover new links - to learn more about human genetics and ancient migrations of people throughout the world - to leverage existing genealogical research on the Pommier family to help those who are stuck break through their brick walls - to create a sense of community and shared history - to contribute to the fields of Anthropology, History and Archeogenetics - to have fun!
