Ancestors - Whittington DNA Project
Focus on your haplogroup since each haplogroup is unrelated to the other haplogroups within a reasonable genealogical time frame. Participants in a haplogroup are encouraged to contact one another and attempt to learn more about their ancestry. The ancestor and country information comes from the Project member and reflects their best understanding of their pedigree. The higher resolution tests provide the best DNA data.
Project members are urged to update their Family Tree DNA information as they learn more about their ancestor and country of origin.
If you need help with your kit, please contact one of the Project administrators. Their email addresses can be found on the Whittington Project "About Us" page.
The haplogroup names come from the Family Tree DNA Whittington Project test results. The names of ancestors and countries of origins were provided by the Project participants and are based on their best evidence.
The table is arranged by haplogroup & test depth — Updated: July 26 2024.
Only BigY tests provide enough data to appear on the Time Tree.
