Our Goldens may be descended from a daughter of a Virginia Gouldman from the time period of 1710-1730. A theory was that our Goldens may have descended from a Gouldman father before 1730 [3]The theory of a Gouldman male as a patriarch of the our Golden family is due to an overwhelming number of atDNA matches with different descendant lines of the Virginia Gouldman family, whether they … Continue reading — this appears not to be a viable theory as of 2023 as Goldens are R1b and Gouldmans are I-M253.
