Woodall DNA

The Woodall/Wooddall DNA Project and the Woodall/Wooddall Name Study go hand in hand. You can ead more about your ancestor in the Name Study. The five groups of Woodall/Wooddall listed are separate but are related in several different ways. Your Dna could strenghten the relationships lines between these families. If you are unfamiliar with using Wikitree for your linage or Gedmatch to upload your Dna, just contact me and I will assist you in getting started on your genealogical journey!

The goal of this project is to help Woodall and Wooddall descendants of the southeastern United States find information about their family lines and fill in gaps they may have.

If you are interested in using DNA to help with your Weathers - Withers genealogy research, how can the work we did help you?

• Do your records-based research.
• Add your lineage to WikiTree.
• If possible, connect to a Woodall or Wooddall line already on WikiTree.
• Make sure you have documented primary sources for each parent/child relationship and for each marriage relationship in your lineage.
• Perform an atDNA test using one or more of the many testing companies. The DNA results of the oldest generation will have the strongest DNA results. Thus it is best if you use your parent's DNA results rather than yours to accomplish your DNA analysis and verification.
• Download your DNA results and upload the results to Gedmatch.com to get your gedmatch number.
• Add your Gedmatch number to your WikiTree profile.
• Look at the Descendants List and find participants descended from your ancestor. Note their name and Gedmatch number.
• Check on Gedmatch to see if you actually match any of those descendants.
• If you do match, contact them on WikiTree and check to see if any of your matches already have a DNA triangulation statement posted on their WikiTree profiles.
• If your match's profile has a triangulation statement, review your match to all kits in the triangulation statement on Gedmatch to see if you also match on the same segment of the chromosome.
• If you find any triangulations where you meet that criteria, you can draft / add triangulation statements to WikiTree using the WikiTree Help functions for DNA. Help Triangulation
• Use the extensive Help functions on WikiTree and read Autosomal DNA Statistics and key websites, blogs and youtube videos focused on genetic genealogy.
• If you are a male of the Woodall-Wooddall surname, you can add your yDNA TIP results to WikiTree if you find a close match on the FTDNA yDNA Weathers Study.
