Query Text:

DNA project for Thrift, Frith, Firth & related surnames: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Thrift-Frith-Firth/ Contact info is at the website. The major goal is to use the DNA evidence to show, for each surname, which lines are related, going back in time beyond the end of the paper trail. One reason for doing this is to gather, share, and focus family resources. Specific projects are added according to the interests of project members. It can be shown whether two families are closely related or not, based on specific markers in the DNA of the Y chromosome. Even beyond just finding whether two families are related, DNA testing can be used to arrange a whole group of families into a larger family tree covering many generations, showing which branches occurred soon after the earliest common ancestor, and which branches split more recently. This can be done EVEN IF BIRTH RECORDS ARE LACKING. (However, best results require a large group of contributors, in order to trace where each change occurred --so find your fourth and fifth cousins and get them involved!) Richard Thrift
