DNA surname studies test a portion of the Y chromosome of males who share the same surname (or variation). By comparing your test results to others with your surname (or variations), you can determine if you are related. The results do not tell you exactly how you are related but will indicate if you share a common ancestor with another participant. This test is not associated with health matters or paternity. In addition to testing, we need information (e.g., pedigree chart) on line of descent from the oldest known male ancestor for each participant. This helps to identify the various unconnected lines. For more details about testing see Frequently Asked
Questions and other links below. |
DNA PROJECT NOTES
January 2013 – I’m slowly
revising/removing items from this section.
The focus of these notes is on the Y chromosome testing of males who share the same surname. Keep in mind that genetic genealogy is in its infancy and we are all learning together.
