The men and women of Hanover County played a large role in the founding of our country. Unfortunately many of the original records for Hanover were destroyed by fire during the Civil War. This project is here to help fill in some of the gaps in Hanover history through YDNA, mtDNA, and atDNA testing and analysis. If you descend from anyone who lived in Hanover, VA and have already tested at FTDNA, please join the project to share your research with others and help fill in the details of our history. If you have tested at one of the other major DNA testing labs, please contact one of the project administrators who will assist you in transferring those results for free to FTDNA.
