Description
BARTLETT, BARTLEY, BARKLEY, BERKLEY, BARCLIFT, BARCLAY, etc. worldwide. We are very interested in establishing these lines in England and the rest of Europe, Canada and Australia. We also want to find any remaining lines in America. We now (4/2013) have over 260 participants, representing 4 broad haplogroups, and at least 23 different lines from Colonial America. We accept variant surname spellings which were often used interchangeably with BARTLETT. We also accept participants who have all female lines back to a BARTLETT line; and Family Finder DNA test participants who have BARTLETT ancestry.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
