Description
The Cossitt Family Association was founded in the 1970’s by our late cousin, Tom C. Cossitt of Brockville, Ontario, Canada. The Association was formed to enhance relationships and conduct genealogical research of the descendents of Rene Cossitt, b.1690 who emigrated from France and his wife, Ruth (Porter) Cossitt,b.1692 who was born in Hartford County, Connecticut.
Originally, The Cossitt Family Association held reunions in various cities across the United States and Canada. This practice has been discontinued due to the current ability to communicate with members via e-mail.
The Cossitt Family Association, Inc. maintains a computerized family Genealogical Database that starts in the 1700’s and currently has over 11,625 individuals and 4650 marriages. If you are a descendent of Ruth and Rene Cossitt you are eligible for membership. Application instructions are available on the Cossitt Family Association web site.
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.
