Y-DNA TESTING PROJECT

Background, Goals, News, Results, Y Results, and mt Results
The CHAUDOIN, etc. Surname DNA Project (including the many variants listed above) was organized in October 2004. Having read many success stories in matches with DNA for genealogical purposes, we decided that it is time to try to advance CHAUDOIN, etc. research. DNA identification in many cases may help when there are no written documents to help to prove one's ancestry.
The success of our Project will depend on the number of male participants who join our testing group, as well the documentation of the known research connected with each unique line regarding dates and locations of birth, death, marriage, etc. Please contact and encourage males of the above different surnames to participate in our Project to help to ensure its success.
The Y-DNA testing identifies markers for the male Y-chromosome that is passed, only, from father to son through the generations. Therefore, the testing requires a male with one of the above mentioned surnames or possible other variant. If you are a female with one of the surnames (etc.) or a female researcher, you may have a husband, uncle, brother, male cousin, etc. willing to volunteer in your place.
We have chosen Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX as our testing company. The testing laboratory will be analyzing either the 12, 25, 37, or 67 markers on the Y-chromosome. If the markers of two or more male individuals match, it will indicate they descend from a common male or variant surnamed ancestor. It will not identify the specific ancestor, but through the sharing of family information with other participants, that ancestor could be found. It is our opinion that the 25, 37, or 67 marker test is much better at reporting the kind of data that is needed to determine closer relationship, as the 12 marker test can find many matches that are not close in generations to most research. If you desire to start at the 12, or 25, or 37, you can upgrade from one of these to a higher marker test at a later date.
As a member of the surname project, it is expected that you will share what you know of your family history and your earliest known ancestor. This earliest ancestor could be 2 to 10 or more generations back. Perhaps the earliest known is yourself, as you do not know who your parents were. A lineage chart will help to identify each unique CHAUDOIN, etc. with others of their group who match DNA. Contact between individuals and comparing research may help you to find that early common ancestor.
DISCLAIMER, CONDITIONS AND AGREEMENT
The project organizer has no commercial affiliation with any profit making organization and receives no compensation for services or expenses involved with the project. At present, the webpages involved with this project are for information, lineages, and posting DNA results of participants.
Although as a participant you receive a discount at FTDNA, that by no means suggests a business partnership or other relationship between the Project and the Laboratory. All funds are payable only and directly to the Laboratory. The project organizer will not be the recipient nor steward of any DNA samples and has no responsibility for their care, handling or return to participant, nor duty to act on behalf of participant in mediation of any dispute between the Participant and the Laboratory.
While a match between two participants may indicate that they share a common male ancestor, it will not identify the specific ancestor and there is no guarantee that every participant will match another participant.
By participation in the project, the participant agrees to all conditions of the Project.
STEPS IN JOINING
Join the project by clicking on link at left and ordering your individual kit.
When kit arrives, follow directions. Return kit including the special waiver form that comes with the kit so that FamilyTree DNA will have permission to share results with Project Administrator/Coordinator and Co-Coordinator.
Then e-mail to Project Administrator/Coordinator (Audrey): your family's Earliest Known Ancestor and family information for our chart.
Family Lineage information should include:
1. Your Family's Earliest Known Ancestor, including as much history, dates, & places as is known. What is shared about a family line will be up to the individual testee or his representative or researcher. This information will hopefully help others connect their family to your family, if and when like Y-DNA is found.
2. Send lineage from your earliest known ancestor down to you (the testee).
3. Testee's or researcher's name & e-mail address. The name of the testee will not be given unless that individual desires and gives Audrey permission to post. However, it is requested that we receive a name and e-mail of a contact person(s) or family researcher for each family group. Without any contact information, no one will be able to contact someone when there appears to be a common ancestor coming into play.
4. Your Personal or Pertinent Websites or Webpages (Optional)
5. The Family Group Charts, Lineages, Information, and any comments provided by others are solely the responsibility of the Testee and/or Contact Researcher providing them concerning a particular family line. They do not reflect the opinion, research, or belief of the Project Administrator or Coordinator.
The purpose of the chart and lineage is to help identify each individual of like DNA, then provide the opportunity for the participant to share his/her lineage as known or believed at this time. There is no guarantee that any information is correct.
The Project Administrator/Coordinator and Co-Coordinator are not responsible for problems that arise from content found within the lineages of each participant.
The Project Administrator/Coordinator and Co-Coordinator are not responsible for disputes, conflicts or other problems between web site visitors, participants, and researcher(s).
Sponsorship Offer
7 September 2006
Members of the CODRON family (many, but not all, in California) are pleased to be included in this DNA project. We have also informed members of the CAUDRON family (mostly in France) of the project and hope that will generate more participation.
The CODRON family has a long history on the Island of Rhodes (in present day Greece, passed from Ottoman/Turkish to Italian and finally to Greek rule), likely dating back to the late 1600's. The first CODRON we can document on Rhodes died in 1769. This was only discovered a few years ago and we suspect his name may have been spelled CAUDRON originally. Additionally, we have information that leads us to believe our name may have originated in France as CAUDRON rather than in Spain where we originally thought. Today, the CODRONs from Rhodes have relations that span the globe.
Our participation in this project is to determine if there is a link between the CAUDRON name (or derivatives) and the CODRON family from Rhodes. We would appreciate it very much if you would consider participating in this project or in helping to recruit members of the CAUDRON family (or similar spellings). This would help us immensely in our research.
We are so committed to this goal that we would like to offer financial assistance for anyone who would be interested in participating but who could use a little help to afford the test. If you are a male with the name CAUDRON, CHAUDRON, CADRON, CATRON, COTRON, CODRON or KODRON (or any similar derivative we may not yet have considered that might prove a link), have not already determined a definitive link to the CODRON family described above and would be willing to participate with a full or partial sponsorship, please advise Audrey Hancock as soon as possible. She will contact us and help us administer the process.
Note: Offer presented by the CODRON family group.
Affirmation of one's sponsorship will be determined by the family group wishing to achieve their research goal and criteria. Your information and desire to be a candidate will be forwarded to the sponsoring group. I will only act as a communication medium between parties and help in the process between the family and FT DNA. Audrey
