This website was
developed originally for the DNA Project, but it has been expanded to include anyone who
is interested in genealogy for the surname Burditt/Burdett/ Burdette with some
exceptions. The purpose of this website is to share and help each other. The
menu for this site is vertical. Click on any of the items in the menu, and it
will take you to that page. The word “link” may not appear in an actual link, but the
link is sometimes represented by bold and or underlined links. With time, I
will try to have most of them have the word “link” included.
The Burditt DNA Genealogy
project includes the various spelling of the surname: Burditt, Burdett,
Burdette. Also, the Burdick family is included. There has been some
evidence that the Burdick’s and Burdett’s were related in Wales England. We
have members living in United States, England, and Australia. We have 9
different related groups as of 12/9/2013. In addition we have two groups which
are unassigned, which means none of them have a match with any of our other
members.
One thing we learned
early in DNA testing was that just because someone spelled their surname the
same way did not make them related. Also, we have many participants who have a
deep interest in genealogy and were instrumental in getting other people to
join the project.
DNA results can help in
knocking down brick walls, and it can keep you from chasing someone that is not
related to you. We experienced this situation in a Burdett/Burditt family with
their origin in 1700’s in Maryland. Whether you are male or female, you can
participate.
An essential part of a
successful genealogy project is to share and help each other. Please forward
this website URL to other interested parties so they can help and participate
in the DNA and genealogy features of this website..
