This is the link to the Gillespie DNA Project. The project includes all possible spellings of the surname Gillespie. Take a look at the project and you will see all the possible spellings that will be accepted into this project - there are lots! http://www.familytreedna.com/public/GillespieDNAProject/ And here is the code to join the DNA project if your surname is Gillespie - any spelling - but you must have been born a Gillespie - adoption or name chance are not acceptable for the project. Women who want to join must find a father, brother, male cousin, etc. to take the test for their line. http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=A87421 Please select the 25 or 37 marker DNA test kit. The 12 marker test is pretty useless for current genealogy. If you don't want to pay the entire cost of a DNA test kit - find a cousin interested in genealogy and split the cost.
