The Purpose of the Sirmon Family DNA Project is to use the science of DNA to trace the different family lines back to their origin. To date results indicate two originators of the surname i.e. 1500 in Buckland Berkshire (Thames Valley) and 1460 in Eldersfield, Worcestershire (Severn Valley). Where documentation exists and results differ (probably through a ‘blip’ in the past), participants are either placed in an Unassigned group or if two people match another grouping is initiated. Different lines of the family are found in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Europe, South Africa, and the United States. It is hoped that enough male members of these different lines can be tested to trace the origin back to England. As most family researchers know, the modern-day spelling may appear with a variety of different vowels. The spellings include: Serman, Sermon, Sirman, Sirmon, Surman, or Surmon. Any of these variations may end in an (s). Other lines with similar spellings that are possibly related are also invited to join the project. We recommend the 37-marker test.
