Our Goal

We hope this site will inspire other people of the Whitney surname to join in, and participate in the exchange of information. We have put this site together in hopes to come in contact with other Whitney's who are mostly from the mid to southern staes. We are dedicated to researching the Whitney surname, and have studied countless Whitney families in the American south. Some present day lineages are disconnected from their probable ancestor, and we hope to reconnect these family lines to their rightful immigrant by a simple DNA test. Our research has concluded that there are three principle immigrants who are responsible for most of the Whitneys living in the United States today.

John Whitney, of Watertown, MA
Henry Whitney, of Long Island, NY
Samuel Whitney, of the Bermuda Islands.
