Wells Family DNA Project - Families


This set of pages is alphabetical and in addition to the baseline families also includes unconnected families whose DNA has not proven to connect to one of the baseline families and we also have included the ancestor for each DMA participant from a baseline family which represents where the participant's branch connects to the baseline.

We will eventually connect the ancestors to the DNA for that family as well as the family tree for each entry. Not all families have had descendents tested. Some may not be properly connected yet.

Please feel free to contact us if you see any errors in these families.

The famililes currently involved in the study include the following. (Page 1)
