Simply send your name and lineage to Terry Dean Olson, beginning with the earliest Franklin in your line, as shown below .
Ending with your great grandparents is alright, or whatever you're comfortable with. Many are aware of the dangers of providing too much information about themselves over the internet, including a mother's maiden name, which is often used as a password for credit cards, and such.
Please email your lineage to me that you would like to have on this page.
Please give your lineage beginning with your earliest Franklin, just as shown in the example below. Important: please limit the information to names only (no dates), with the exception of the earliest ancestor. Please do include date/place of the earliest event that you know (ie birth, burial, residence, etc), for the earliest ancestor.
Scroll down, or click on the State/Country, or on the name(s) of the "earliest ancestors," to view lineages of the Franklin cousins. Once you are in the lineage section, you can view source data (where available), by clicking on the State/Country name. There may also be additional information for each Franklin name (which is "clickable," where available).

The following is a project currently under way for Franklin descendants, and I am including this for anyone interested in participating. Please send any correspondence regarding the project to the email address in the paragraph below, rather than to myself (Terry Olson). Thanks.
A Franklin male-line Y-chromosome project is well underway. So far three different Franklin families have been identified by Y-chromosome markers. The web page for the project is http://www.roperld.com/franklingenetics.htm. All male-line Franklins are invited to participate in the project. It costs $99 for a 12-marker test, which is sufficient to determine the major family, and $169 for a 25 marker test, which helps determine branches of the major families. To see how this works out in my Roper Y-chromosome project, which is further along, see http://www.roperld.com/roperconnect.htm. For a list of Y-chromosome projects for many families see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~allpoms/genetics1a.html.
The tests are managed by an excellent company (http://www.familytreedna.com) through a well-known genetics laboratory at Univ. of Arizona.
Those male Franklins who are interested in participating should contact L. David Roper.
