About us
In May of 2001, FTDNA(Family Tree DNA) pioneered Genetic Genealogy with Y-DNA and mtDNA testing. It is still a relatively new tool available to genealogists, but these tests can help genealogists verify their paternal ancestry (father's father's father's, etc) in a quick and easy way. This saves time, prevents mistakes, and provides invaluable data that can be obtained in no other way.
Our Goals
-
Help family researchers from common or related branches of Pritchard, Pritchett, Prichart, Prickett, Prickitt, Prichett, and Pritchart families work together to find their shared heritage.
-
Identify how the participants' families are connected, both genetically and through paper trails.
-
Identify and confirm genetic lineages of ancestral families and find genetic cousins in the United Kingdom, Europe or wherever they may be in world.
-
Publish on this Website all the Paternal Lines of our members to aid current and future genealogists in their research.
-
Actively recruit participants for the project, growing our marker matrix which will increase the likelihood that existing and new members will have a genetic match.
More Background Information
This Y-DNA Project is seeking Pritchards, Pricketts and Pritchetts willing to test their Y-DNA from everywhere around the world. Through Y-DNA analysis of the participants and along with conventional genealogical research, this project will help determine those members that share a common Pritchard, Pritchett or Prickett male ancestor.
To participate all you need is a living male Pritchard, Pritchett, or Prickett relative willing to provide a simple, painless cheek-swab sample. If you or a relative is interested, please contact us.
