The BARTLETT-DNA Project was started in October 2002, and in July 2012 it had 250 participants.  Through DNA, the Project has established 19 separate BARTLETT lines from Colonial America, including 23 descendants of Robert BARTLETT of the “Anne.”  The Project is open to all BARTLETTs and is particularly desirous of getting more participation from descendants of U.K. BARTLETT lines.  There are two goals the Project seeks to accomplish:

• Determine the BARTLETT lines in the U.K. and find out which ones link to America.

• Obtain DNA from descendants of all the BARTLETT lines who where in Colonial America.

If you are a male BARTLETT and would like to join the project, click HERE to purchase your DNA test kit.

Most of the current participants have ordered Y-DNA25 or Y-DNA37 marker tests, and that is what is recommended. The sample is obtained by rubbing the inside of your cheek with a plastic stick, and returning it in small vials – everything you need is mailed to you in a Kit by Family Tree DNA. They are by far and away the best DNA company for genealogists.  Visit their web site to learn more about DNA testing for genealogical purposes.

Our BARTLETT-DNA Project results are posted HERE.  (See "RF Plymouth, MA & TN" for Robert Bartlett descendants.)
