An In-Depth Study, including a Genealogy and Family History,
of One Single Unique JAMESON Family

This website is devoted to the study, genealogy and family history of a distinct, independent, stand alone, Jameson family. There are many families with the surname Jam?son, most however, are not related. We Jamesons are an example of just one of these families.

The Jameson surname, in any of its various spellings, was created of need by many and means the "son of James." Most who first used this surname were totally different and unrelated people. Thus, there are many unrelated Jameson families, all over the world, with the same surname. The difference between distinct Jameson families can be easily determined (and thereby proven) by DNA from the Y chromosome, as is the case with this family.

Our knowledge of this particular Jameson family began in the early 1700's when several Ulster-Scots Jamesons emigrated from Northern Ireland and put down roots in Colonial New Hampshire as presented by E. O. Jameson in his 1901 publication "The Jameson's in America 1647-1900".[S2] Because we have been able to determine, study and include herein, the DNA of that family, we have been able to expand beyond just them to include other members of this particular Jameson family.
