A new FOLGER surname Y-DNA project has been started and may be found at: www.familytreedna.com/public/FolgerDNA If you are a Folger descendant or are trying to confirm a Folger connection a DNA test may further your research. The first individual to test is a known descendant of Peter Folger (born c. 1617 Norwich, Norfolk, England, died 1690) of Nantucket, MA. This is a Y-DNA project. If you are a female you may have a known brother or male cousin participate to confirm your family research.
