The Herring DNA Project
This DNA Project is open to those in a direct paternal line to the surname Herring or its many variants -- Herron, Herran, Herren, Herrin, Hairun, Hairron, Heiron, Heroun, Hearon, Haring, Hering, Herringe, Harring, Heuring,Hern, Herne, Hearn, Hearne, etc.
The Herring DNA Project is for all who wish to work together to find their common heritage through DNA testing and sharing of information. All variant spellings are welcome. Our individual members hope to make contact with others who are related in order to expand their family genealogies. Besides identifying the connections between the Herring family groups we also want to differentiate the British and Germanic families. We want to explore the connections between our North American and European families and more specifically we would like to find the ancestors of John Herring who migrated to Virginia in 1642 and is recognized as the patriarch of one of the largest genealogical-researched Herring families in the United States. In addition, we want to be open-minded and recognize and explore any other possibilities as they present themselves in our ongoing project.
Surname DNA testing is the newest tool available to genealogists. These tests help genealogists verify their paternal ancestry (father's father) in a quick and easy way. It saves time, prevents mistakes, and provides invaluable data that can be obtained in no other way.
This Family Project is started to:
1. Help researchers on common or related families work together to find their common heritage (See the Patriarch Page)
2. Identify the DNA of the ancestor families and compile them and their lost branches into distinct genetic lineages through DNA matches
Feel free to post anything that pertains to Herring genealogy, Herring DNA research, or to a specific Herring family that is included in the project. All spelling variations are welcome. If your Surname spelling is missing, we can add it. By going to the "Forum" section and registering, you can post your family and we will add it to the Patriarchs list. Just follow the directions listed there.
