President's Message

The past few years have seen attrition in our membership due to COVID, illness, deaths and life events. We are making 2024 the year of regeneration for the Barton Historical and Genealogical Society. Behind the scenes, the research and DNA projects have been vigorously working to obtain new data and DNA results for "All Bartons". We are excited to share our first newsletter this year. The file below will guide you to this document. There is incredible data on our DNA project and research as well as stories from Barton famlies. Look forward to this upcoming year.

Our DNA Project

Our project is open to any male Barton or man believing that he is paternally descended from a Barton male. We also welcome men who have already yDNA tested and are matching a Barton.

The Barton Historical & Genealogical Society has a special sponsorship program for Barton families who are not already known to be represented in the Barton DNA Project. You may receive a 37 marker test for $100 or £75 or €85. This is less than 2/3 of the regular project price. Contact Terry Barton to confirm eligibility and make the arrangements.

Our project also welcomes Barton descendants (male and female) who don’t have Barton as a surname but who have done the autosomal DNA test – abbreviated as “atDNA” (called “Family Finder” at FTDNA). We are “collecting” Barton descendants (120+ to date) who have done an atDNA test, waiting for the day when Analytic Tools become powerful enough for us to fully utilize their info.
