DNA-match to Famous 12th-Century Guittard Family Commune in Puy de Dome, France
Any Guitard (or related spelling) can now do a simple cheek-swab test for a possible match with a Guittard tester now living in Puy de Dome, France (and with other Guitard, Guittard, and Guittar lines in France and America).
This individual has recently tested as Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b1.We believe this Guittard tester is a strong possibility to trace back to the famous and long-continued 12th-century Guittard Family Commune at Thiers in Puy de Dome, that dissolved in 1819.His family has lived in Puy de Dome as long as anyone can remember.
A second and confirming test from another Guittard now living in a different part of Puy de Dome is now being sought for a possible test match to provide reasonable confidence that the profile likely traces back to the historic family of the Guittard Commune.
The simple testkit for Guittard-variant-surname males is very easy and quick -- three swabs at 60 seconds each -- no blood involved -- no medical information obtained or reported -- comes by mail to your home -- uses the leading testing company with the largest databank.
Anyone interested in testing for a possible match with this Puy de Dome line or other various Guittard-variant lines in America and France can see previous DNA postings on this Guitard Forum for additional information.It's fascinating and a lot of fun.
