About us
The Garrett DNA Project is an ongoing project, open to any descendant with the Garrett(and variant) surnames. Our primary objective is to try to identify and tie together the numerous Garrett (and variant surname) families as well as prove the various theories that abound regarding our relationships. Current participants' results and furthest-known ancestors can be viewed on our website. This Project uses testing results of DNA from Garrett and variances of spelling, Y-DNA, mt-DNA and Autosomal DNA for males, and mtDNA and Autosomal DNA for females in an attempt to discover biological links where the genealogy paper trail has been lost in the mists of time.
The Project enables the surname descendant researchers to discover biologically related families and thereby narrow the focus of their research, determine collateral families, common given names and, eventually, actually reconstruct some long-lost family ties.
Some Garrett and variances of spellings are descendants have a different surname, and do not have the Garrett Y-DNA, this is why the Family Finder Autosomal testing is as important to the project as the Y-DNA testing. The project requires the Participants to have at least a single line pedigree in the participants tree of FTDNA (Showing from the participant to the earliest known ancestor) Include dates and locations of deaths and births. Include spousal information if known, If possible include the known brothers and sisters of your ancestors, in the direct line to the earliest known ancestor. and when joining the project, a direct single line Pedigree to be sent to the Group Administrator.
Name Variants : Watson, Wattins, Wattis, Watts, Wattes, Watt, Walter, Wattier, Wautier, Watson, Watkinson, Watkins, and Watkiss.
