We are undertaking the use
of Genetic Analysis to further the genealogical study of our Stockton ancestors
and family lines. After many years of researching our own elusive ancestors,
helping other researchers and learning of the various disputes among Stockton
genealogists, we have decided to use the newest tool in genealogy research,
"DNA testing". This project will not take the place of your own traditional
documentary research, but we hope to provide a companion tool for you to verify
your own research, determine relationships and establish family lines.
Knowingly, we will solve some mysteries and create others, but hopefully this
project will enable you to find answers to your own family mysteries. For our
Stockton cousins who don't know where they fit into the Stockton Family Tree,
donating DNA to this project will help you connect to your "Genetic Cousins"
This is an ongoing research project that will be expanding with each new Stockton
DNA donor. With the participation
of our Stockton cousins in the United Kingdom, we have forged a bridge across
the water, providing additional genetic pools and ancestors. "The Stockton
DNA Project" will be a valuable resource for our English and Irish cousins
to trace Stockton ancestors that may have emigrated to the United States and
continue the bloodline. We hope you join us in our endeavor to Discover New
Ancestors (DNA).
If you are a male with the
Stockton surname, you are eligible to join the "Stockton DNA Surname Project"
all testing is done through "Family Tree DNA". The discounted rate,
through this project, for the Y-12 marker DNA test kit is $99. There are also Y- 25 and up marker test kits available, if you choose a higher dna sample rate. The
test procedure is performed by utilizing a mouth
swab.Please go to the membership page for more information.
