Helping researchers work together to find their common heritage.
The Venter Surname Research Center provides a forum where researchers can share information regarding the Venter surname, as well as present, discuss and find solutions to their specific research problems. We invite all researchers with an interest in the Venter name to contact us and become a part of our research community. Sharing information will enable us all to further our common interests.
If you have information regarding the Venter surname, we would like to hear from you.
Our DNA Project
DNA analysis is the most exciting and fastest growing field in genealogy today. It helps one determine his family relationship to other Venter family lines.
You can learn more about the Venter Surname DNA Project at the project web site.
We invite all males with the Venter surname to join our project. To become a participant, go to our project's Home Page at Family Tree DNA or learn more at venter.org.
Females are welcome to participate as well. However, you will need the cooperation of a brother, father, male cousin or any other male relative with the Venter surname. This is required because only males have the Y-Chromosome which is the DNA used in tracing family surnames.
The project operates through Family Tree DNA. One can find more information at their web site located at familytreedna.com. If you have additional questions or want more information, please write to us at venter.genealogy@comcast.net .
Our Databases
Are you looking for an ancestor you just can't seem to find? Maybe we have already found that person. Check out our databases of record extractions below:
Records are constantly being researched throughout the world. As new records of family members are discovered or submitted, they will be added to these databases.
Researchers who; 1) wish to learn more about any individual listed on these pages; 2) have additional information about persons listed; or 3) have information about individuals who should be listed, are encouraged to contact us.
Sources for all of the information contained herein will be provided upon request.
This page also serves as a point of contact for all researchers of the Venter surname.
Through the cooperative efforts of researchers from around the world, we seek to:
- determine where the Venter name originated,

- map the world-wide Venter family tree,
