SKA DNA Project

In 2023, Soule Kindred started a new DNA research group, which is hosted on the Family Tree DNA website. The goal of this group/project is to help descendants of George Soule break through their brick wall or connect their lineage back to the sixth generation that may not be proven yet. The project uses autosomal DNA, also called the “Family Finder” test, which will show matches on both your paternal and maternal sides - going back five or six generations. We inherit 50% of our DNA from each of our parents, which means 25% of each of our four grandparents. However, siblings do not inherit the same DNA, so it may be beneficial if more family members test.

The project will be “owned” by Soule Kindred and there will be three SKA members acting as administrators of the project, with the understanding that they can change as research committee membership changes.

Individuals will buy their own tests, with no cost to Soule Kindred. (An exception would be if the project administrators request DNA data from a particular subset of descendants to assist in research.)

Need help understanding your matches? There are many YouTube videos about DNA matches. Also, check out Diahan Southard’s videos here (especially part #3).
