This DNA project is for all who have ancestors who carried the WORDEN surname. While the primary focus is the paternal line, we also welcome those whose Worden ancestors may be represented in their autosomal (Family Finder) or mtDNA (mother's mother's mother's etc. line).

When you join, please send us an email (see the administrator emails to the left of this page) explaining your connection to the WORDEN surname, and a tree for that line, whether a Word or other file, a link to an online tree, or a short email with as much information as you have, so that we can fit you into the larger context of the Worden families. We say "families" rather than "family" because there is more than one paternal line that has adopted the WORDEN name over the past few hundred years.
