Updated 14 September 2024. The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the TOMLINSONs 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 TOMLINSON DNA Project is an ongoing project open to anyone who has the surname TOMLINSON in their family tree. It does not matter from which geographical area your ancestors inhabited as DNA 'shakes us all down'. Especially if you get or aim for the highest test you can afford. Although there will be cheaper tests, they will not deliver the certainty that I am sure you will be wanting in terms of your genealogical research. It is primarily for males who carry Y-DNA, but females are welcome, especially if they carry the TOMLINSON surname. The project is aiming to identify the numerous TOMLINSON families together using DNA. Male participants' Y-DNA results can be viewed within the project as are the mtDNA results. Feel free to join in or to initiate conversations within the 'Activity Feed'. This is your in-house forum. I am happy to welcome both males and females provided they have these names in their family tree or they at least match a tester with that name. Be certain to look around the project and familiarise yourself with what is there. My contact details are visible to the left hand side of the project's Landing page.
