The Zielinski/Selinske DNA Surname Project has just received the test
results of its first participant. I’d like to invite all males with the Zielinski
surname or variant (Zilinsky, Selinske, etc.) to join this Project.
The Project’s goal is to find links between various branches of these
families where no genealogical documentation exists. The Zielinski name is very
common, making it difficult to determine if any two families are related. Using
DNA testing, the Project hopes to find families that have been unknown to
each other.
Please consider joining. You can obtain a DNA test kit for the low group
rate of $99 for the 12-marker test. This test uses the Y-chromosome so it is
limited to male participants only. Females wishing get involved can donate money
to purchase tests and find male relatives to participate. My surname is not
Zielinski but I was able to get one of my male Zielinski cousins to donate
his DNA to get the project rolling.

Hope to hear from my Zielinski cousins soon.
