Brittons, Brettons, etc.--How to Apply for Free Y-DNA Test
« on: Monday 03 February 14 19:08 GMT (UK) »
The Britton International DNA Project has raised (and continues to raise) money for DNA testing in the UK.  We are looking for Britton, Brittain, Bretton, Breton, etc. men who can provide well-supported pedigrees of at least five generations, starting with the candidate's father.  We plan to offer either a free Y-12 test or $50 toward the purchase of a higher resolution test to any candidate  approved by the Administrators and members of the Britton project.   All variants of the name are included and all regions of the British Isles.  Families from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada who know the English or British origin of their Britton line are also encouraged to apply.

Pedigrees and applications should be sent to Dr. Lindsey Britton  through the Britton International DNA Project at Family Tree DNA or the Britton One-Name Study at the Guild of One-Name Studies or you may send me a personal message at Rootschat.
