How to provide your Pedigree   

Updated 10 April 2010

Each Gillenwater Surname DNA Project Pedigree should identify the Earliest Ancestor and the researcher. By correlating test results and pedigrees, each family can identify their genetic heritage and related families.

Each participant is asked to post his paternal pedigree on the Gillenwater Surname DNA Project Pedigree Forum.
(Link is in the menu toolbar above; notes about the pedigree are at the bottom of this page)

We will post all submitted Gillenwater(s) pedigrees = DNA tested or not, to help all researchers.

Click on "Post Pedigree" in the light gray menu at the top of the page to post your pedigree
