This project is an attempt to separate and/or consolidate the various Winder/Winders/Winter/Window/etc family branches. Although most of our participants so far have ancestry in the United States, there is that huge mystery of their families and countries of origin. We have found out that there are many European branches as distinct from the British branches we started with. We have found out how unimportant that final S is in Winder vs Winders. We have found out that Winter can be another variation of Winder, but not always. We have not yet discovered if there is a clear distinction between WINEders and WINders. We have found a group of participants who trace back to the England/Scotland border according to their DNA, but have no idea yet of the steps from here to the 1500's. We need many more participants to be able to draw clear trees for us all.
