The Pemberton DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today!

Our project is just 3 years old, and we already have some exciting discoveries.

Participating is an opportunity to uncover information not provided in the paper records, which will help with your family history research. We will also discover which family trees are related.

This DNA Project is part of the Pemberton one-name study which is one of the major thrusts of the Pemberton Family World Wide>/a>. You can learn more about this significant research, and the the associated family trees, by visiting the one-name study web site, or contacting the Project Administrator.

The Y-DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a Pemberton or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, just find a direct line male in your family tree (brother, father, uncle, cousin) to participate and represent your tree.

We encourage males to order a Y-DNA test for 37 markers, if possible. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, though this costs a little more.

Both males and females may also be interested in learning about their direct female line, which would be their mother, their mother's mother, and back in time. Both men and women inherit mtDNA, although only women pass it on. To explore your direct female line, you would order a mtDNA test. For matches in a genealogical time frame, order the mtDNA Plus test.

Both the Y DNA and the mtDNA test results contain no personal information, and you will match or be a close match to those to whom you are related. This is an opportunity to learn more about your origins and ancestry.
