Ungrouped Family Status

DEFINITION:

Guthrie families who have no historical, documented, or genetic proof of a lineal relationship to an established Guthrie Family Group.

MY ANCESTORS ARE MISSING:

If you can’t find your ancestors listed within the Guthrie Family Groups, chances are that we do not have proof of their group association.

You’re not alone. There are hundreds of Guthrie lineages from all parts of the world whose direct ancestry remains unknown or untested. Traditional research may help in some of these cases by providing documentation that links them to previous generations. It is impossible for me to personally research every Guthrie family that has ever existed, so please share your family info with the rest of us.

Some Guthrie families have reached the end of their paper trail and must depend on DNA testing. As you meet new Guthries online and in life talk to them about getting involved in genetic genealogy.

The answers to our family mysteries are within us.

THE GUTHRIE RESEARCH TREE:

Guthrie family tree research related to lineages from the Guthrie DNA Project, as well as lineages in an Ungrouped Family Status is housed in the admin’s Ancestry tree “Ann’s Ancestors and Guthrie Research.” Any data collected from traditional research, and online sources is there. Many lineages are merely in the data collection phase where I have copied the family line with the intention of later gathering documents and sources of proof. Other lineages have been fully researched, and the galleries may be full of scanned original and other documents. Keep in mind that even though many of these lineages have a lot of research behind them, they should all be considered clues requiring your verification.

Ann’s Ancestors and Guthrie Research

I am listed as the Home Page person, however I suggest you type in “DNA” in the search bar. That will bring you to the combined page where I have gathered links for the Guthrie DNA Project Family Groups including the Ungrouped Families.

Quick Search Tip: Do a search for the spouse of your earliest Guthrie ancestor. Chances are there is only 1 person by that name versus dozens or hundreds of same-named Guthries.

The Ungrouped Guthrie Families section is broken down into geographic links: USA, Canada, Scotland, England, Ireland/Northern Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The West Indies / Caribbean Basin, Sweden, and Poland

Even though there are many more ungrouped Guthrie lineages found in the Research Tree, this website will focus only on those Ungrouped Guthrie Families represented by members of the Guthrie DNA Project. If you are not a member and your line is not listed here, you may still find details in the tree.

Navigate to the Ungrouped Guthrie Family Pages using the links on the sidebar. If you’re on your phone, they’ll be at the bottom of the page.

After checking the Ungrouped Guthrie Families pages and the Guthrie Research Tree, if you still aren’t certain where your Guthries belong, feel free to contact me.
