I have begun a Tippie Family Surname DNA Project at Family Tree DNA. Any male Tippie may order a kit for $99.00 through the administrator(me) at
tippiefoot@aol.com. There are presently 3 members, soon to be four. I began the project to possibly connect all of the Tippie lines and untimately to establish a connection to Uriah Tippie born 1759. You may find information at
