About the Project
The Treat Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Treat 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 Treat name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Treats), by time period (18th Century Treats), or by topic (Treat DNA, Treat Occupations, Treat 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.

Research Pages
Here are some of the research pages planned or already in the study. This section is under construction - this is a new One Name Study. I'll be working on them, and could use your help!

Looks like we are seventh cousins descended from Joseph Treat (1662-1721) and his wife Elizabeth Merwin.
I know there are others doing work on their Treat connections as well, but not too many are active. Andrew Creveling has been in touch with me and I need to get back with him - he is working on a line connected to John Berry Treat Sr (1776-1834).
My main goal is to make sure that Treat profiles are well sourced and connected within Wikitree. If you are interested in helping with that, take a look at this page for some ways you can help https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Treat_One_Name_Study_-_Potential_Projects&public=1
