About Our DNA Project

Mx Pedigrees

Member MxPedigrees began appearing on the website several years ago as part of the DNA Surname Project. We are in the process of expanding the pedigrees to include information submitted by past and present members for publication in MxWorld.

When the project is completed you will be able to upload a GEDCOM file of your Mx ancestry where it will become part of a searchable all-name database of member GEDCOMs. Until then, you can add or update your information on this website at Add/Edit Pedigree Information.

This information can be accessed by our members using the new Pedigree Search. Names of living individuals, or individuals with a birth date after 1911 and no death date, are automatically hidden on the website.

Research Assistance

From time to time we all find ourselves facing an apparent brick wall in our research efforts. We find pieces of the puzzle are missing and cannot be found. Sometimes another pair of eyes or knowledge of a little known document resource can break the barrier and open new connections. If you find yourself in that situation we might be able to help. Request help.

PDF’s and Digital Images from UK GRO

The UK General Records Office (GRO) www.gro.gov.uk now offers PDF’s and Digital Images of historical birth and death records for England and Wales as part of their established service. If you have Great Britain ancestry, this could be really beneficial; also, quicker than snail mail. The program covers PDF copies (emailed within 1 week) or Digital Images (that can be viewed online immediately) of those historical digitised civil registration records held by GRO (i.e. birth entries from 1837 - "100 years ago" and death entries from 1837 - 1957). A GRO index reference is required to be provided with the PDF application. You can find the GRO index references by logging on to the GRO online ordering service and accessing the GRO online indexes. A PDF will cost £8.00 and Digital Image is £3.00 each.
