Beaumont DNA

Editorial Note – The HDFHS July 2024 Journal contains a piece entitled “Y-DNA Origins of the Beaumonts” by Gary Beaumont. A companion piece at this address offered more detail of the DNA study using a one-name approach, aiming to tie together living individuals who share a common y-DNA profile. Given that y-DNA is passed from father to son, with very little mutation over time, a paternal line can be established over many generations. The work described here uses the results of a site and process managed by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), who hold the largest database of y-DNA for genealogcal purposes. If you have male Beaumonts in your family, consider joining the project and expanding our knowledge.

Gary has recently extended his research and developed a website for it. The button below will take you to Gary’s site, ensuring that you will then have access to his latest version.
