Our Mission

The Johnson name exists in many countries around the world. You cannot automatically tell where your ancestors came from if your surname is Johnson or one of the many variants.

It is our mission to help distinguish by documentation the various Johnson lines, making it easier for members to find their Johnson ancestors. We also aspire to keep abreast of research that sheds light on some of the mysteries of this surname.
