About us
Please consider joining so that we can further the research.
The results are kept private and group members are automatically notified when they have a match or close match (depending on how they set their user preferences). A lot of people have asked me why our members, their Y-DNA results, and paternal ancestor are not linked. This is because the original group members wanted that information kept private and only available to other group members. Obviously, I will honor that request for all group members.
UPDATE: as of June 20, 2023 the EKAs (earliest known ancestor) are now publicly displayed on the yDNA charts. All group members had been notified at least 30 days prior.
Here is a list of the earliest documented ancestor of most of the members in our group. Upon enrolling, each member is asked to supply the name of their earliest documented Bennett ancestor, not their earliest suspected one. Many members have their suspected lines further back.
