Updated 14 September 2024 The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the HOLDENs 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 goal of the Holden DNA Genealogy Project is to learn more about our earlier ancestors and to identify geographic origins. Results will be organized according to location and family group. Anyone with a Holden surname (or variant spelling) is welcome to participate.
