About us
Goal 1: To determine the haplogroup for the Prillaman surname.
Goal 2: To determine a genetic relationship to a European surname from which the surname Prillaman is derived. Almost all Prillamans in America descend from a common ancestor, Jacob Prillaman (Brüllmann) who immigrated to Virginia from Switzerland in 1747.
Goal 3: By testing the YDNA of males with a Prillaman surname or a derivation of that name we hope to determine if all are related through a common ancestor or if the different branches have their own unique markers.
Goal 4: To use YDNA to determine the paternal origins of brothers Byrd and Herbert Prillerman, sons of Charlotte.
Goal 5: To determine the mtdna haplogroup for Waltpurgelly, wife of Jacob Prillaman Sr. and to determine if Elizabeth, wife of John Jacob Snidow, was indeed her sister or a relative.
