SURNAME PROJECT

I recently decided to look into DNA analysis as an aid to linking Luttrell Lines worldwide
My results came back recently from DNA HERITAGE where I had 23 markers tested. I have posted my results on ybase. I have eight Luttrell members signed up to our DNA project and am currently looking for other Luttrell males to follow suit.
According to my results my Luttrells are halotype I1a predicted, meaning that it is likley that we are of Norman and Scandanvian roots all the way back to the Gravettian Culture.
Please contact me if you are interested or click on this link to visit the DNA HERITAGE website.

More importantly I am hoping to find Luttrells whose DNA markers match closely with mine - someone with 22 or 23 markers is related but less matches among the markers suggest uncommon ancestors.
We have results for a Descendant of a Simon Luttrell who emigrated in 1825 from Queens County to New Brunswick and then to prince Edward Island Canada. His results match all the 23 markers that we had tested. This proves that Simon was closely related to my ancestor John Luttrell. See the Simon and Elizabeth Luttrell page in the Luttrell Index

In addition results from a descendant of Alexander Luttrell of Kilberry, Kildare, thought to have been born in Coolbanagher abt 1801, and who emigrated to Canada in 1854, also show a match at all 23 markers. This gives credence to talk by older generations of Luttrells that the Coolbanagher branch of the family and the Courtwood branch are both descended from the one Luttrell man. In all probability, given the 23 marker match that convergence may be as early as the mid 18th century. I am anxiously looking for other Luttrells to sign up for the test so that we can broaden the test pool and hopefully link together more Luttrells.
