Todd Families in America

Todd Family Numbers and Descriptions

Compiled October 2010

 

This list is intended to identify all the Todd families in Ireland and Scotland discovered as part of the Irish Todd DNA Project and the Scottish Todd DNA project.  It is intended to make it possible to easily refer to a specific family, to keep all these families straight and to locate researchers sharing a common lineage.

 

The last column indicates researchers interested in each line.   The DNA column indicates which families have at least one DNA sample for their line. 

 

The numbering system allots 10 potential numbers to each county to allow new families to be added without changing the numbering system. The system also allots 10 potential numbers to each study region of Scotland.
