Welcome to the Goff-Gough Family Association Genealogy database. This site is under construction, with a goal to include all Goff, Gough, McGough and variant Trees globally.
Many researchers have provided GEDCOMs. While the GGFA cannot guarantee complete accuracy, Trees must pass a quality-control regimen prior to being loaded to TNG:
- Only Relevant Lineages: Trees only include the earliest known Goff/Gough ancestor and his or her descendants and their spouses. People identified as living in submitted trees are privatized.
- DNA-Based Relationships: Tree names are based on YDNA genetic addresses, when available, to lower the chance of duplicate lineages. Autosomal DNA is also being used to assess accuracy.
- Rules-Based Scrubbing: Details of people have been analyzed by a rules-based tool, which looks for various problems, such as out-of-range age at key life milestones, missing gender, and out-of-order life milestones.
- Quality Place Names: Place names have been scrutinized by an automated tool to ensure they can be geocoded for map placement.
The individual GEDCOMs on this site are organized as Trees. To view a list of Trees, click on the link “View List of Researcher Trees” below.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on this site, or would like to add your tree, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
