Who we are...
The Lyon(s) Families Association was founded in 1951 by Howard C. Lyon as a
non-profit organization devoted to research and compilation
of Lyon(s) families records.
Take a few minutes to learn more about the Lyon(s) Families Association, and its long history, activities and resources. And if you
have a Lyon(s) ancestor, please contact us. You'll find more information on the Contact Us page.
The Lyon(s) Family Association is cooperating with the FTDNA testing site to study the DNA of Lyon(s) descendants in
order to attempt to discover common ancestors. The goal of the project is to see if DNA testing can discover a link between the early Lyon(s)
Ancestors or Progenitors. Particularly useful is the testing of men named Lyon(s). Combined with traditional genealogical research
the results can be compared to other Lyon(s) men. Using genetics and the markers on the Y chromosome, similar patterns may become
clear. We urge Lyon(s) men to submit a test sample to Family Tree DNA for the 67 or 111 marker test. Learn about our ongoing
project and other topics related to Lyon(s) DNA. here
