"Genealogy via Genetics"
I would like to encourage as many people as possible to participate in the DNA Surname
Projects. If you are a male, you can get a very simple, non-invasive cheek swab
test performed by yourself in your home to identify the genetic data being carried
on your Y-chromosome. If you are female and tracing your husband's or your father's
line, please encourage a member of the oldest male generation of that line who is
still living to participate in this study.
A primary benefit of this information, per my view, allows me as a researcher to
match with someone with whom this connection has not yet been documented. Sometimes
if we know where we are headed, it is easier to get there by taking some documented
data from the past which is provided by your DNA match and following one of this
person's documented male lines only needing to work out the gap. That is, if
you match with another male person who has his male line documented for 7 or 8 generations
and you have your male line documented for 4 generations, then it is likely that
you share a grandfather within one of the generations documented by your match.
With other genealogical research methods, it should be much easier to develop your
documentation to complete the connection with the person of your DNA match. I did
the 67 marker male line and the mtDNAPlus(HVR1)and mtDNAPlus(HVR2) for the female
side of the family.
