Goals. The goal for the Pöllinger Surname Project is
to identify if all Pöllinger families originated in Hungary, Austria
and Germany, and to determine which Poellinger families are related. We
would also like to establish if there is any linkage to or between the
surname variants found in England, France and Italy. There are also
Pollingher/Pollinger families from Romania.
Additional Objectives. Other objectives include:
- discovering living relatives in Europe and the United States
- proving or disproving theories regarding ancestry
- determining ancestral homeland
- finding locations for further genealogical research
- validating existing research
- solving "brick walls" in genealogical research
Surname Variations. All surname
variations are welcome to
participate, such as Pullinger, Pollinger, Pillinger, Böllinger,
Boellinger, Bellinger, Bollinger, etc.
Please note that one Pöllinger family emigrated to the United
States where the name was changed to Poellinger and Pellinger, and the
name was misspelled on various documents as Perllinger, Pillinger,
Berllinger, Bellinger, and Bulinger.
American Poellinger/Pellinger Families.
Though Pöllinger is
not an unusual name in Europe, it seems that all Poellinger's in the
United States can be traced to two families:

Financial Information. The Pöllinger Surname Project
is a private undertaking for personal interest. This is not a commercial
venture. No remuneration is received by any of the participants nor the
project director. Participants are responsible for the purchase of a DNA
test kit from YSEQ or Family Tree DNA. If funds become available in the future,
reimbursements for testing shall be made on the basis determined by the
body donating such funds.
Participation. If you are interested in participating, you can order a test kit using one of the links above or you can learn more about ordering. If you are unable to participate (because you are not a direct line male descendant or because you are uncomfortable at this time) you can sponsor a test for someone else or help recruit new participants. Members of this project have been tested by YSEQ, iGENEA, Family Tree DNA, and DNA Heritage, which was subsequently pruchased by Family Tree DNA.
