:: Names and Places for Determining DNA Matches ::
These are the surnames of my ancestors through 6th great-grandparents (at least, the ones I have
identified). I have also listed some possible surnames for brick walls that have not been proven. Those are
annotated as "unproven."

The list is in alphabetical order by my paternal and maternal lines. The link for each name goes to my closest
ancestor with that surname. From there you can see what, if anything, I know about their ancestors. To
search for a particular person in my database, go to the
Index of Names.
