Primary Mission
This web site was initially created in June 2001, for the primary purpose
of promoting the International Lindsay Surname DNA
Project. But, as one can see, it has evolved
into a comprehensive site for everything Lindsay* (how
ever spelled).
If you are at this site to learn more about the application
of DNA testing to further your understanding of your Lindsay* genealogy, then go to the
International Lindsay Surname DNA Project. While at these pages each visitor is encouraged to thoroughly review the material posted
there.
Upon doing this, it is hoped that all males, bearing the Lindsay* surname
at birth, will become energized to participate in Y-Chromosome DNA testing, via
the International Lindsay Surname DNA Project. Your participation should be based
on your personal basic knowledge of molecular genetics and DNA testing and the
potential benefits it can provide to you.
Please feel free to contact the webmaster and Project
Administrator,
Ron
Lindsay if you have any questions.
If you choose not to participate in this project, it would still be very
helpful to receive your comments, regarding this historic Lindsay*
Project.
The International Lindsay Surname DNA Project will require a broad based, global participation
from those of the Lindsay* surname if we expect to be fully
successful in determining the full range of the Lindsay*
surname haplotype (s). What we can conclude with certainty, in year 2008,
and after DNA testing 182 Lindsay males, is that all who currently carry
the Lindsay surname are not descended from one common ancestor who also
carried the surname of Lindsay. As the database grows in size, it is anticipated that
any Lindsay* male who is DNA tested hopefully will match with
one or more well documented Lindsay lineages that already exist in the
"International Lindsay* Surname Haplotype Database".
Secondary Mission (but of equal importance)
We are all fully aware that a thorough knowledge of our Lindsay*
genealogy is essential in order for
us to gain the most value from our DNA
testing.
Thus an equally important purpose, of this
web site, is to provide a "storehouse of Lindsay* genealogical information", representing an international gathering of
basic Lindsay*
genealogical lineages, connected with the corresponding DNA haplotype or
Y-chromosome profile.
We would like to expect that many of the the world's
Lindsay*
lineages could be connected via
traditional genealogical research with supporting proof coming from genetic DNA
testing. Check out Lindsay
Pedigrees
in the main Lindsay*
Genealogy section of this web site to
see the lineages of some of the earliest Lindsay* lineages.
Also take a look at "The
List" of Lindsay* Genealogical Researchers and see who is listed there
and the specific Lindsay* lineage they are researching. There is a
great possibility that others are already researching your specific Lindsay* lineage and willing to share their
genealogical knowledge with "new found" cousins. Also, if you
are a Lindsay researcher and not listed there, send me the necessary
information and I will add you to "The List".
Lastly there is a list of "Lindsay*
Genealogy Books" that might provide some help. If you are aware
of other books that have been published that deal with the Lindsay surname, please
provide me with the details of this book and I will add it to the list with your
name and e-mail address as the source.
Other Miscellaneous Objectives
From an international perspective, this site may also be used to promote other subjects of a global nature that could be of interest
to Lindsays* around the world.
It
will evolve with research and feedback from the users of this web site.
Check the main "News"
section of this web site
frequently for news worthy announcements.
We are indeed a global people with a great depth of
varied interests and
skills. The many stories of our family
surname are fascinating and the legacy, left to each of us by our fore bearers, is well
worth exploring.
Best regards from the webmaster at Lindsay International.
