Project Purpose

Have you reached that proverbial "brick wall" in your search for ancestors? Join the thousands of genealogists who are making new connections through genetics.

The Griffi(th)(n)(s)(ng) DNA Surname Project was formed to help sort out the many branches of Griffith, Griffin, Griffis and related families and find clues to their ancestry in the absence of primary documentation. Since its inception, our project has helped dozens of participants extend their family lineage and find new connections to previously unknown relatives.

Our project continues to grow, adding an average of three new participants each month. If your surname is Griffith, Griffin or one of its many variants, join us and help build the genetic map of our shared Celtic heritage.

Your Project Website

The value of our project website is only as good as the contributions from its participants. Help us build our Pedigree page and Research library with copies of your family lineage and documentation.
