• WFN has been providing DNA Information, Websites, and Administration to FTDNA Surname DNA Projects since 2004 (About Us).
• FTDNA and WFN have a long-standing relationship (Learn more).

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 with related families work together to find their common heritage. The Patriarch Page provides researcher lineage to assist other researchers with related families.  (See the Patriarch Page link below)

2. Identify the DNA of the ancestor families and compile them into distinct genetic lineages through DNA matches. The Results Page provides DNA markers to show clear distinctions between genealogical lines. (See Results Page link below)

3.  A general fund is set up to help other researchers offset the cost of DNA testing.  (See "General Fund Status"  link below)
