A DNA project to trace the ancestry and degree of relationship in anyone (male or female) with an ancestor (male or female) who carried a Neese type surname, with all of its various spellings. We wish to include all men and women with genetic ties to a Neese family line using a Y-DNA test for males carrying a Neese type surname and autosomal (Family Finder) and mtDNA (mitochondrial) tests for both men and women.
