You should have *CONFIRMED* Jewish ancestry from a town in present-day Belarus, on your direct maternal or direct paternal line. This project is not intended for people who have suspected Jewish ancestry or whose ancestors were from other regions of Eastern Europe. Those who do not qualify for this project are encouraged to visit JewishGen's Genealogy by Genetics website at http://www.jewishgen.org/dna/ for other Jewish DNA projects, or Family Tree DNA's website for a comprehensive list of Family Tree DNA projects.

Matrilineal = Your mother's mother's mother's mother's mother, etc.
Patrilineal = Your father's father's father's father's father, etc.
How Many Markers? The more markers you test, the more recently related your matches will be. If you match a person with a different surname as you at only 12 markers, your connection to that person may be well over 1000 years ago, well before reasonable genealogical timeframes. However, a match at 37 markers or more generally indicates a relationship within the past few hundred years. Therefore, we recommend at least 37 markers for this project.
