David Pike's Family History & Genealogy Resources

Information about the Pike Family

• Pike Surname DNA Project
  Genealogical DNA tests have shown that there are at least two unrelated Pike families in Newfoundland. One is concentrated near Carbonear and another on the Burin Peninsula. There are several other Pike families that are not yet in the project, such as Pikes from Channel Port-aux-Basques, Dildo, Old Perlican, Salmonier, and Spaniard's Bay, so if you are a Pike then check out this project and consider joining.
