Our objective is the identification of Venable families worldwide. To eventually provide a genetic standard and match for Venable's who uses DNA testing as an aid in their family research.

The goal is to enlist the participation of at least two male, direct line descendants of early Venable lines that settled in the US prior to 1800. 

An additional goal is to obtain and display the pedigree chart of each participant. Ones pedigree along with the DNA test results, comparisons and analysis are important to solving problems of genealogical research where records have been lost or have not existed.

We encourage descendants of known Venable lines as well as unidentified Venable lines that settled in the US after the 1800's as well as European lines to submit DNA samples for comparison.
