Surnames Pitts, Pitt, Pits, Pittes, and Pytts.

The Pitts DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today!  We now have over 290 members.

Our web site is:  https://pittsdnaproject.neocities.org/index.html 

Our project is growing, and we expect to have many exciting discoveries.

Participating provides an opportunity to uncover information not provided in the paper records. This will help with your family history research. We have identified 15  family groups so far and will be adding more soon.

The Pitts DNA Project is working with the Pitts one-name study, which is registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies, London England. The surnames Pitts with variants Pitt, Pits, Pittes, and Pyttes are being researched as a one-name study, which is a study of all occurrences of a surname.  The one-name study may hold information to assist you with your Pitts family history research.  Pitts at one-name.org

The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be a male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a male Pitts or variant surname in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, you should try to find a direct line (Pitts) male in your family tree to participate and represent your tree or take the Family Finder test yourself.

We encourage males who order a Y DNA test to at least order the 37 marker test. The 67 marker of 111 tests are the best.

Both males and females can learn about both their male and female lines. This is best done with the Family Finder test. This is an autosomal test involving 22 of the chromosomes and will usually provide matches back to 5th cousins.

Both males and females can learn about their direct female line, which would be their mother, their mother's mother, and back in time. Both men and women inherit mtDNA, although only women pass it on. You would order a mtDNA test. This test, however, does not work well for most people.  For most people the Family Finder test is a much better choice.  Contact one of the administrators if you think you need to do this test.

None of these test results contain personal information and you will match or be a close match to those to whom you are related.
