About us
This project is open to all people who have the SANSOM surname or its variants (Sansome, Sanson, Sansam etc) and are interested in finding their Y-DNA matches.
Traditional genealogical methods have indicated that Sansom lineages within the British Isles can be traced back at least 500 years. Even unravelling that portion of the story will require us to map different lineages and carefully analyze the results of Y-DNA testing.
But England is not the only place where Sansoms originated. Our ancestors moved across the European continent -- with enough participants we can discover our common ancestors and reveal the different migratory paths they followed.
How far back can we trace the Sansom history?
Sansoms have spread across the globe to the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. We would like to invite all Sansoms to join the project, to get their Y-DNA tested (if a Sansom male) and to compare their Y-DNA results. Sansom descendants (not necessarily through their patrilineal line) who have autosomal DNA results (FamilyFinder) are also welcome to join the project. When combined with traditional genealogical pedigrees, together we can reconstruct the different Sansom histories.
Participants from around the world are welcome. Please join us.
