Our Project goal is to share information and bind as many families together that share the surname Anderson and any of its variations.

We hope this project will provide the evidence needed to make breakthroughs in extending lineages that have stumped Anderson genealogists for years, provide clues to genealogical information you have that may not be making any sense to you at this point and in connecting lineages not previously known to be related.

We hope to work together with you to sort out Anderson families from different countries and connect Anderson families who came to America.

What is the benefit of joining the Anderson/Andersen Family DNA Project? There are many reasons why you should consider joining our DNA group and I'll list a few:

• Participating in this project gives you a chance to compare your genetic ancestry with those of your Surname and the spelling variations
• The knowledge to understand our ancestors better by sharing information with each other and in particular where the county records have been lost
• A sense of camaraderie among the members of a group.
• The participant's Haplogroup, which identifies the paternal ancestor's prehistoric origins.
• Identify others who may or may not be related to you. The ones that are not related to you may be just as important as those who are.
• Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors
• Solve brick walls in your research
• Determine a new county and state or country for further research
• Validate existing research!
