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 Griffiths, 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; 15 new participants have been added so far in 2013. If your surname is Griffiths, 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.

Latest News

New functionality added to the Possible Connections search routine. You may now select any or all of the possible genetic matches found by this routine and display an DYS allele table of only those selected records. Allele values that do not match the base record are highlighted.

Let us know if you find this new functionality valuable. If so, we will add it to the full customized Y-DNA Results table.

Total project members: 324 (Includes 11 participants who tested with other labs.)
Unreturned kits: 11
