Welcome, visitor!

The global Strickler Surname DNA Project aims to supplement genealogical research on Strickler families with genetic evidence in hopes of further developing the Strickler family tree.

The surname Strickler was used in Switzerland as early as the 1400s. It appears to have been adopted by families living in a particular location near Wädenswil, along a mountain path known as the Strick.

Our DNA project welcomes and encourages participation by anyone from any part of the world who bears the surname Strickler or who believes himself or herself to be descended from an ancestor who bore the surname Strickler.

Using DNA testing, the Strickler Surname DNA Project can tell us which family lines are related, confirming or refuting lineages with established paper trails and pointing the way for further research for other lineages.  It can also reveal particular DNA signature variations for particular family lines, enabling us to place previously unlinked families into their respective branches of the Strickler family tree.

Males who descend from a Strickler along their all-male ancestral line may participate in the project through Y-DNA testing.

Anyone who descends from a female Strickler along his or her all-female ancestral line may participate in the project through Mitochondrial (mt) DNA testing.

Anyone who descends from a Strickler along any of his or her ancestral lines may participate in the project through Family Finder (autosomal) DNA testing.
