Check out the updates!
We’ve now put the Family Group Sheets into a table with some additional information about each one. We hope that this will make it easier to see which Family Group Sheets may apply to your search. We now have 163 Family Group Sheets!
A Complex Problem
As we continue further in identifying various Dillman families through the Migration Project, it has become obvious that we need a more formal structure to clearly identify the different family groups. The DFA has developed the idea of having Family Group Sheets for every distinct Dillman family highlighting key information for each. The aim is to provide distinguishing information in a quick and easily understandable format.
We are trying to ensure the information presented in these Family Group Sheets is as correct as current knowledge allows but as we are human there may be room for improvement. Don’t hesitate to point out any mistakes along with your documentation, and these will be updated.
We have found that some of the larger and more widespread families can have subgroups which are readily identifiable and so we encourage the creation of Family Group Sheets for subgroups. One example is Family Group 2/2a. We would invite our members to complete Family Group Sheets for such subgroups, so please feel free to send us your Family Group Sheets!
Please bear in mind that the newer family groups may be more likely to be changed or joined with other groups as our research extends further back to common ancestors and as new information is uncovered. We hope you find these Family Group Sheets helpful and that they will eventually help get us closer to answering the simple question: “How many Dillman Families are there?”
Click on the Family Group number to open the sheet. It will open in a new tab so you don’t lose your place here. You can also view the Dillman DNA Participants page to see Y-DNA test results alongside each family group.
