If you are tracing your Britton ancestry, we invite you to join the Britton International Genealogy & DNA Project.
The Britton Project is a scientific study designed to establish the origin of Britton families around the world. The project is open to anyone interested in researching the Britton name; however, only Britton men or men who descend in the male line from a Britton male are eligible for DNA testing.
The project uses a simple cheek swab test to identify markers on the Y-chromosome; since only males have Y-chromosomes, females must participate indirectly by finding a male relative to represent their line. This relative may be a father, grandfather, uncle, brother or cousin, either close or distant.
The Britton project runs at Family Tree, DNA Heritage, and Ancestry, and test kits may be ordered from these companies, but we will also accept DNA results from any other company of your choice. No fee or subscription is required for membership in the Britton project.
Our main website may be found at World Families where the complete Britton DNA database is available along with brief lineages for most of the participants and genealogical, historical, and heraldic information for early Britton families in England. Participants from all countries are welcome.
