Only Roth males (or males with soundex equivalent or similar related surnames) can join this project or a female sponsoring said male. The Roth Surname Genetic Genealogy Y-DNA Project was established to determine the YDNA markers signature for the various Roth lines in the USA and thus learn if any of the various Roth familes share a direct line recent common male ancestry. And, if possible, to link the Roth families in the USA with the Roth families of Europe.

The Roth family name seems to be for a person associated with the color red.
