Updated 14 September 2024 To help find family connections for the BRANDONs of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things. 1) The surname of the person being tested. 2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line. 3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor. The purpose of the Brandon DNA project is to expand our genealogical research by confirming or disproving family lines through DNA testing. We would like to determine if the Brandons who first settled in PA and spread south to NC and SC and west to TN, GA, KY, AL, OH, IL, and other states and the Brandons who first appear in VA and spread south and west, share a common ancestry. We would like to know the relationship of these early North American Brandons to the Brandon families of England, Ireland, Scotland, including the Brandons who emigrated from France and Germany. Of course, we would like to include those Brandons who left the European Continent for Australia, New Zealand, etc. We would like to invite all members of the Brandon or derivative surname (Brandin, Brandan, Brandom, Brandham, Brandonberg, Brannon, Brannan, Bragdon) surname worldwide to join our project. This project seeks to determine the connections of all lines of the Brandon family surname.
