CASSIDY & Variant Sp Surname Y-DNA Project- Background

Background

The CASSIDY & Variant Sp Surname Y-DNA Project was established on 11 AUG 2004 to create a growing database of DNA profiles of male CASSIDY descendants to aid in genealogical research. DNA analysis can assist in supporting or refuting the premise that two or more participants descend from a common ancestor.

Requirements: Since a Surname Project in essence traces members of a family that share a common surname, and females (a) don't carry their father's Y-DNA, and (b) acquire a new surname by the way of marriage, in order to be relevant to the Surname Project, the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his paternal line (father's father's father's...). The test to be ordered is either the Y-DNA12, Y-DNA25 or Y-DNA37, and females should look for a brother or cousin with that surname to be tested. Females can also order a test for themselves, which will be the mtDNA or mtDNAPlus, but the results of this test cannot be tied to the Surname Project.

This project encourages Participants to be tested at the highest number of markers that they can afford.
