Description
This project encompasses all those with the Templeton Surname and its derivatives. The project hopes to gather together DNA from all Templeton to determine connections and to help those who may have a connection only in name. Please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Templeton_Name_Study for the Templeton Name Study associated with this project.
This project was originally set up and run by E. O. Templeton and Jack R. Templeton as a way to identify Templeton's from Iredell Co. NC (Templeton, Alexander, and Black), from SC, and AL, MS, and TX, to see if they are kin by the DNA. With his passing in 2019, the project has turned its focus to an all-inclusive Templeton Group Project. Familial sub-grouping will be used to identify individual family/DNA lines. Thank you Jack for his years of service and work in the Genetic Genealogy Community and to our Templetons. In 2021 The Templeton's from Jay Norwalk's DNA work with the John Marks Templeton Family were integrated into this project as well.
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.
