Lamberson (and variants) One-name Study
Lamberson, Lambertson, Lamison, Lomison, Lomason and Lamberton families
This part of the site is dedicated to the gathering of information from all people who share the surname Lamberson/Lambertson and other variants We Lamberson/Lambertsons share a unique name, and it is my belief that if people will share their information and pool resources in one place, many if not most of our lines will converge. Please email me with your comments, questions, or to contribute your information for inclusion.
I am adding data to the New Jersey families in particular at a very fast rate (for me). One word of advice: DO NOT GET HUNG UP ON SPELLING OF NAMES! These families used a wide variety of variant spellings interchangeably, often in the same document or even sentence!

DNA Study Begun
We have begun a DNA Study of people with the surnames Lamberson, Lambertson, Lammerson, Lamerson, and other variations. This study is being conducted through Family Tree DNA, a reputable genetic genealogy firm. The goal of the study is to group families genetically so that all known Lamberson/Lambertson/etc. families may know their heritage even if they cannot document their specific lineage to one of the major known and documented families.
In the future, I expect to customize the DNA study with my site here, linking the data I have with the tested individuals' families. But for now, you can look at the progress and results of the study at the FTDNA Lamberson DNA Study Website.
Please note: If you are interested in participating, but you are wary of the fees for the testing, PLEASE CONTACT ME! If you are from an untested major family, your fees may be waived!
