FAIRFAX DNA PROJECT
The Fairfax DNA Project will employ DNA technology to provide linkages where there are gaps in historical documentation. Genealogists and family historians are increasingly using DNA to supplement historical documentation. This project was initiated to provide the missing link from the Sledmere Branch in England to the Maryland Branch in the USA. Because the Sledmere Branch is an offshoot of the Steeton Branch, all direct male descendants of the Steeton Branch and/or its offshoots will have similar DNA markers.
The Fairfax Y-DNA67 Project seeks participants who are male direct line [that is male with last name of Fairfax and all their paternal male ancestors had last name of Fairfax]. Potential participants must be descended from Steeton Branch and/or its offshoots. Proof of lineage is required. Potential participants in UK should contact Cynthia Bunch cynbunch@globalnet.co.uk or Miss C.F.Bunch 22 Low Church Road, Middle Rasen, Market Rasen LN8 3TY. Potential participants in USA should contact Ken Craft kfcraft@comcast.net or Kenneth Craft 5600 Clinchfield Trail, Norcross, GA 30092. If you require assistance in documenting your lineage, contact Fairfax Society Research Coordinator Norman Meadows norman.meadows@gmail.com
