About us

Interested in all variants of the Slaton Slatton Slayden name (including those starting with Sch-).
Different spelling variants can (and usually do) appear along any one patriline, so a Slaton might have a father, brother or cousin recorded as (or who uses) Slayton, Slaten, Slayden or Slatton. The purpose of the Project is to create a database which will enable us to identify the various families bearing variants of surnames like Slaton, Sladen and Slatton. The results might make it possible to to differentiate between male branches and determine which men are connected along which male branch. As the database grows, DNA testing can bolster or question the tracings of traditional "paper-trail" genealogical research. We are looking for additional participants from all national/ethnic backgrounds. Individuals interested in collaborating on family history and using genetic testing to assist our research efforts are encouraged to join. The administrators are happy to assist prospective members with the ordering process, if desired.

This Project makes it fairly clear that the many "trees" on FamilySearch, Ancestry, and other "collaborative" sites, showing a common male ancestor for all of the Sladding/Slayden/Slaten/Slayton/Slatton men found in 1680-1800 North America are obviously unresearched patching together of both real and completely fictitious family groupings. yDNA groups might share a common male ancestor, but obviously they cannot share a genetic common male ancestor within historic time with men assigned to other haplogroups sections. Because of the idea of convergence among samplers, interpretations based solely on DNA remain in the realm of "probability," just as with conclusions based on "traditional" genealogy, but we hope that both of these tools and disciplines can be brought together for interpretation. We strongly encourage Family Finder or Big Y for males, because the SNP research goes "downstream" of the haplogroup predicted from Y-STR testing.

Men might be assigned one of these surnames through formal or informal adoption, or might be adopted "out" of the surnames. yDNA can be helpful in determining whether either case applies and has done so within this project.

Only Kit codes and paternal ancestry names volunteered to us will show in the grid to the public, not personal names of samplers. Some groupings (British-born Sladens, Massachusetts-based Slaytons) are not yet large enough samples to form theories as to origins; with more results that JOIN, this might change.

Administrators: Clinton Slayton - cslayton19@windstream.net
& Wesley Miller wamiller1313@gmail.com
Co-administrator Conrad Monroe appleii@cmonroe.net is managing Group 130, thought not to descend from a male Slaton, but with "roots" found in a Slaton household and ancestors today using that name or variant.

Results shown with blank Haplogroup are "transfers" from Ancestry, so their haplos appear in Most Distant Ancestor column. The Project has more results than shown, financial constraints preclude displaying all results at this time. What we ask for in return for your participation:
1) that you are willing to share some of your contact information with your cousins (when appropriate) and work together to further our understanding of our Slaton/Slatton (etc) lines and
2) that you provide the Project your suspected "thumbnail" paternal line as far as possible.

It is expected that surname members will grant LIMITED or preferably ADVANCED access to the administrators. If any of this is unclear to you, contact one of the administrators before asking for an invitation to JOIN. Please consider arranging a Beneficiary at any FTDNA kit page under your management.

Please do not ask to JOIN this project if you do not have or do not sponsor DNA at FamilyTreeDNA, because FTDNA will not allow a JOIN without a kit associated to your account. Due to an issue with transferred results, some kits are unable to be subgrouped as the admins might prefer.
