Surname DNA Project
We invite all males with a last name of Baucum, Baucom, Bawcum, Balcom, Balkcom and all variants to participate in the Baucum Surname DNA surname project. The project mission is to identify individual family lines with the intent of seeking common ancestors, possibly breaking down brick walls and broadening or uniting current areas of genealogical research into Baucum (et al) origins. All variant spellings are welcomed. Please contact us for more information on what this means, how we can work together to further our research, and how you can contribute. We will welcome you and try to answer your questions. As we obtain test results we will be updating pages on this site with our results and conclusions. Read more at the Project Overview or the Project Results.
