DNA project participants: We now have 200 participants in the "Y" Chromosome DNA project for Griffith, Griffin, Griffis and all other spelling variants of our surname. We're writing to remind everyone involved that over half of the project participants have not provided their lineages (pedigree) for inclusion on the project website. The study is much more worthwhile if the DNA can be compared and linked to a known lineage, so the DNA comparison can make sense and in hopes of finding where DNA matches actually connect with other cousins. That seems to us to be the main reason to do the DNA study. We strongly encourage those of you who have not submitted lineages to do so. Whatever method you use to record your ancestry information is fine. Our project team can format it properly for publication on the website. Also, remember that there are photo and research sections on our project website and that you are encouraged to upload old photos and research materials related to your ancestors.
