DNA Surname Project - Haviland / De Havilland / Ha

HavilandGenealogicalOrganization Report 17 Nov 2004 20:02

I have launched a Haviland DNA Surname Project to certify various branches of the Haviland family, including those with the name Haviland of unknown ancestry, those with variant surname spellings such as De Havilland, Havilant, Havellande, Haveland, Heavilon, and others, those who descend from the Irish family of Havlin or may have the surname of Havoline or Haveline, and those who descend from the Germanic family of Haverland or may have the surname of Haverlanth, Hawerland or Hauerlandt and may live in the area of the Netherlands. I am trying to prove (or disprove) common ancestry of all these with the Guernsey / English family commonly spelled Haviland / De Havilland. The Y-DNA test requires male participants bearing any variation of the surname Haviland. The test is easy and painless: a kit is mailed to you, you swab the inside of your cheek, and you mail the swab to the lab. Then you wait for the results. Currently males are invited to enroll in the 43 marker Y-DNA test, which is far more accurate and conclusive than the 10 or 20 marker tests.
