About us
NEWS (February 2015): A new web site design includes the ability to post photos and comments, exchange thoughts, pose questions and answers, and otherwise expand your interaction with Willour-Wheeler genealogy and DNA testing. At least for now, all communication is limited to project members. I encourage everyone to participate..
Welcome to all who are researching the surname WELLER.
Now you can add the power of DNA testing to your own family research. To enable all of us to learn more about this amazing genealogical tool, this Weller project is provided to serve the needs and interests of all those interested in Weller family history and genealogy. Only males whose paternal line traces the Weller surname are eligible to participate in this project. Females may join as "associate" members, but their test results will not be displayed as part of this project. Similarly, because this is a surname project which depends upon Y-DNA results, any Family Finder test results will not be included. I do recommend that all males upload their Y-DNA results to Ysearch.org and males and females upload their mtDNA results to mitosearch.org. You can find links to do this at the bottom of the Search page on your MyFTDNA page. You are also encouraged to upload your GEDCOM from your MyFTDNA page. You may include only nonliving persons if you wish, but you should identify the person whose DNA was tested.

You may also be interested in viewing the Willour DNA Project, which I also administer: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/willour . (Notice that, thanks to Y-DNA testing, we can now confirm that Willour and Weller are not related.)
