Description
This project looks for genetic links among persons whose surname is Torkington or any of its possible variations. If your name is any of the listed variations, or any variations not listed, please join the project. If you are a male, please participate in the Y-DNA project. If you are a female, please get a male relative with your surname to test his Y-DNA for you.
The starting hypothesis for this project is that the first Torkingtons took their surname from the village of Torkington in Cheshire, England. We hope that this project will tell us how closely related the various Torkington lines are and also how closely the similar surname lines are related to Torkington and to each other.
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.
