Personal ancestry journey
Build a small contextual tree, layer DNA hints, and launch a guided sampler on the atlas map — not a replacement for archives or testing companies.
Use Workspace for saved hints and launching the map sampler. Deep origins is an ancient-DNA teaching blend (not a lab test). Haplogroups and maps are reference pages tied to the wider atlas.
Workspace
Opens the atlas with a step-by-step sampler. Use the bar at the bottom of the map to move between steps.
Norman-context hints (exploratory)
- These are exploratory hints for storytelling in Norman Atlas, not proof of ancestry.
- Surnames and places alone cannot confirm medieval origin; genetics indicate population affinities, not individual family trees.
- Add a person or surname to explore Norman-context hints
- No surname or selected person yet.
Francogene / GFNA lineage lookup
Browse the full list below without knowing names upfront, or search when you already have a surname or haplogroup. Links open the map or Francogene family sheets when a sheet id is known.
Each name is a documented New France settler (paternal or maternal line). Haplogroups are inferred from DNA tests taken by living descendants and compiled by Francogene / GFNA — not from the pioneers themselves. The Atlas Norman filter keeps surnames that match atlas founders tagged as leaving from Normandy’s ports or the Perche recruitment pool.
