GARRET Family Website (FamilyTreeDNA)

GARRETT name derived from about 18 GERARDs who came to British Isles with the Norman Invasion of 1069. Hypothesis that these GERARDs evolved to 18 distinct Garrett lines, including one FITZGERALD and one CHAMBERLAIN. Greatest success so far in grouping GARRETTs who imigrated to America from Ireland. These GARRETTs tend to be in the middle and nothern states. Many, many Garretts who emigrated directly to America from England. These GARRETTS tend to be in the border and southern states.

GEEroots -- the GEEnetics Portal: GeeRoots

GEEroots is the family DNA study for the Gee family. Our goal is to use genetics to map the major Gee families in England, America, Australia and elewhere. Then any male Gee will be able to test to discover through which branch they are related. We've already learned from early results that not all Gee's share a common ancestor. Apparently when surnames were being adopted, around 1100 to 1400 AD, more than one unrelated family chose 'Gee'. The focus is on determining the relationship between the various family branches.
