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 heritage through DNA testing and sharing of information. Our 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; Irish; Germanic; Norwegian; and other families. We want 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.
In short, we'd like to welcome all interested Herring family members to join the project.
Surname DNA testing is the newest tool available to genealogists. These tests help genealogists verify their ancestry in a quick and easy way. The DNA tests that are used in this project are cutting edge and new, proven tests are added as they become available. For more information, please click the block below for ordering a test.
By joining the project, you will receive special pricing for any dna tests you order using Family Tree DNA labs.
This Family Project was started to:
1. Help researchers of 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. By going to the "Forumi" section and registering, you can post your family and we will add it to the Patriarchs list. If your Surname spelling is missing, we can add it. Just follow the directions listed there. If you encounter a problem; please contact the Project Administrator listed below or if you desire more information.
