Welcome to the Gardner One Name Study
About the Project
The Gardner Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Gardner name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Gardner name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Gardners), by time period (18th Century Gardners), or by topic (Gardner DNA, Gardner Occupations, Gardner Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Gardner One Name Study Goals
The objective of this study is to identify all Gardner and Gardiner cousins. The sort out the brick walls and find solutions.
What You Can Do
- Work cooperatively together with other Gardner/Gardiner profile managers to create the best Gardner/Gardiner tree possible.
- Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Gardner/Gardiner profiles.
- Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for Gardner/Gardiner profiles.
- Check for duplicates and request merges.
- Contact Sarah to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge.
- If you are a male with the Gardner/Gardiner surname or a variant and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA through the Gardner/Gardiner FamilyTreeDNA Project (link below) so that we can all have a better understanding of our heritage and possibly make new discoveries.

Page index for Gardiners of Gardiner's Island It is an index relating the person numbers in the book Gardiner's of Gardiner's Island to the pages on which they are found. The book was published in 1927 and gives the Gardiner descendents of the immigrant Lion Gardiner born in 1599.
I have found a "Temperance Gardner" of Nantucket, MA - she seems to be of African decent. I am beginning to wonder if the two are the same person.
Does your study include African Americans named "Gardner"?
I'm a casual WikiTree user but it looks like I've added over 1200 profiles over the past few years and a couple "Free-Space" pages like the "Gardner Family Lines in New England" linked above.
I just added another Free-Space page, since we're stuck at home, that summarizes some of the Y-DNA data from the FamilyTreeDNA Gardner Surname Project. I found a "cool tool" app that clusters the tests and creates dendograms of related haplogroup clades. The page is GARDNER_R-U106_DNA: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:GARDNER%20R-U106%20DNA%20Project
Check out the graphs. I noticed the top person in the Brick Wall list above, George Gardiner (Gardiner-38) has some descendants who've done the Y-DNA test. So my small request is that everyone out there who is a Gardner, submit their Y-DNA to be added so we can sort out some of the lines--especially in Tennessee and North Carolina.
I'm not a DNA expert but as far as my understanding goes, the more data the better. I also noticed that the WikiTree DNA project categories are a bit dated. A bunch of Gardner profiles(18) were placed in the R1b1b2 category which was renamed to R-M269, R1b1a1a2, almost 10 years ago. Maybe someone else has more experience with this. My info comes from Wikipedia.

If this document is referring to Benoni Gardiner, then I would argue that his date of birth must have been on or before his baptism date. Again, document states BAPTISM DATE as being 22 MAY 1636. Again, his place of baptism is shown as Castle-Hedingham, Essex, England.
Please share your comments.
Gardner Junction, near Gardner, KS. Split of the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails.
Gardner, CO with views of the Sangre De Cristo range.
Gardiner, OR, where barque Bostonian wrecked (1850).
Gardiners Island is still in the family.
Gardner Island also known as Nikumaroro. Recent discussions of this as place where Amelia Earhart crashed. See Whaling family (Gardner).
Another type of dna test are matriarchial for females for only identifying females in the line. The 3rd test is the y-dna test The last is ydna for males to identify only the males in the male line. It would be great if your mother's brother (a Gardner) could take the ydna test. If your Gardiners are a part of the Narrangansett clan, then I can probably take you back to the original Immigrant, George b. ca 1599.
