Due to the generosity of the authors of "The Pamunkey Davenport Papers", the net proceeds of all its sales is earmarked for the Davenport DNA Fund. This ongoing legacy will allow the Davenport Surname DNA Project to purchase DNA tests for selected individuals whose Y-DNA may help advance the study of their line.

Below is a list of the branches we are currently looking for. If you are a Davenport, and are descended via a straight male line, from one of the branches listed below - you may qualify for a free or discounted test. If you believe you qualify, please supply a genealogy showing your connection to info@DavenportDNA.com. If you are uncertain, try anyway, and point out any weak spots in your research. Someone from the line can then evaluate what you have and make a recommendation. Since the monies for all these tests are not currently available, they will be used on a first come, first served basis.
