This project was established to connect the Elks families. Initially, the goal was to sort out the early families in North Carolina and Virginia, but has since been expanded to include any Elk or Elks variation worldwide.

Very few, if any, group e-mails will be sent through the project. To keep current with genetic genealogy information, please subscribe to the blog, www.dna-explained.com by clicking on the small grey "follow" button on the right side of the page. Not everyone appreciates e-mails from project administrators, and taking a blog approach allows people who are interested to subscribe without bothering those who aren't. So, please, subscribe to keep current.
