That people with the surname Bankhead now have their own DNA project may facilitate our genealogical progress. Some of the goals of this project are:

1) To use members' test results and pedigrees to determine to which family and branch thereof each member of this project belongs.

2) To help members of our genetic family to have their DNA tested for genealogical purposes by providing them with information and financial assistance.

3) To make DNA test results more understandable and meaningful to its members. The failure to do this is the most common complaint from DNA test customers. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test .

The history of our ancestors is written in our genes. Correctly interpreted, it is the greatest story ever written.

Remembering our ancestors and family history may help save the civilization we inherited from them.
