About us
The Barbee DNA Project is producing information which is useful in directing further genealogy research. We have
--determined that the early Andrew and William Barbee lines are NOT related. This means that there are at least 2 distinct Barbee lines that have different DNA patterns in the U.S. and that a DNA test will show whether you are related to one of these two lines.
--identified previously unconnected Barbee branches that are related to the Andrew or William Barbee lines. This helps those families narrow their genealogy research.
--found genetic differences between related Barbee lines which may be helpful in narrowing down where family connections occurred.
determined that the Barby line from England IS NOT related to the Andrew and William Barbee lines in the U.S.
Barba vs. Barbee Puzzle Solved! DNA testing has proven that John Barba (1780 - 1872) of Cabarrus County, North Carolina is really a Barbee who is related to the William Barbee line. This is a case of errors in genealogy research. The name in original records was misinterpreted as Barba rather than Barbee. As a result of DNA testing, we now know that John Barba was really John Barbee. John's son, Allen, married his cousin, Mary Margaret Harward, who was a descendant of Rose Barbee. Now, descendants know to pursue traditional genealogy research for a connection to the William Barbee line.
