Note from Holland Family DNA Project Administrator:

Our Project has a co-administrator!  Please join me in welcoming Linda Stockdale, a long-time participant in the Project and now volunteer co-administrator.  She will be available to try to answer your question and guide you through the Holland DNA adventure. 

As of February 2011, I am no longer going to post membership activity and results here since all of that information is on the FamilyTreeDNA website. 
 

The Holland Family DNA Project - Initiated November 2003

Holland, Hollan, Hollans, Hollen and Hillen males are involved in DNA testing to help us determine who we are related to and where we came from.  

How does this work?  In a situation reported recently, a family, after 30 years of research, was stuck in 1850 and could not trace their family back any further. Their ancestor had relocated to the US in the early 1800's, and their prior location could not be determined.  DNA testing enabled this family  to break through their brick wall. With DNA testing they found a match, and research in the geographic area where the ancestors of the match lived commenced. The records for this location provided the evidence needed to connect their branch to the family tree of the person they matched, and to take them back to 1615.

Without DNA testing, it is doubtful that the link between the two families would have ever been found.

The testing is performed by Family Tree DNA
