The Wing DNA Project is open to all Wing families, of all spelling variations, and from all locations.  
 

Surname DNA testing is the newest tool available to genealogists!

  • Surname tests allow genealogists to verify their father's father's...father's paternal ancestry.
  • Surname DNA information can be very powerful when combined with traditional paper trails.

This Wing Family Project was started to:

  • Identify the likely DNA signature of Rev. John Wing.
  • Attempt to identify any English Wings whose DNA signature is similar to Rev. John's signature.
  • Identify the Haplogroup for the family to learn more about our ancient past.
  • Determine whether other Wing families in America are closely related.
  • Identify how the participant's families are connected, both genetically and through paper trails.
  • Identify and confirm genetic Lineages of ancestral families.

 Participating in a Surname DNA Project provides:

  • The participant's genetic DNA, which is very close (and sometimes identical) to his earliest known ancestor, Matthew Wynge (c1548-1614) a tailor at Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.
  • The participant's "deep" ancestry (Haplogroup), which identifies the paternal ancestor's prehistoric origins.
  • A sense of camaraderie, which is particularly strong for those who share a genetic ancestry
  • Stimulation to family research and renewed sharing of information
  • A wider sense of identity and relationship, as we begin to realize how much we are a World Family.
  • A chance to compare your genetic ancestry with those of other Wings and the spelling variations
  • Your genetic matches who do not share the Wing surname
  • The knowledge to understand our ancestors better - particularly where the records have been lost
