The CHRISTMAN2 project is not to be confused with the any other Christman project.

Project Background:
Total Members: 9

Descendants tested for the following immigrants:

Jacob Christman (c1711-1761) (Haplogroup J2)
Michael Christman (c1726-1780) (Haplogroup R1a)
Heinrich Christman (c1706-1768)(Haplogroup I1a)

The CHRISTMAN2 project is not to be confused with the other Christman
project. These two projects are separate. The members in Christman2
project broke away from the other Christman project which I initially
helped start in Nov 2006. I am the first Christman tested by
Family Tree DNA. All variants of "Christmann" the original Christman name are welcome.

Members of the group are not limited to being part of one group, but
should ally with a primary group administrator for greatest value. The
use of Y-DNA is helpful in discovering one's genealogical back-ground
and verifying family tree relationships. It is also helpful for
understanding the cultural anthropology involved in family groups.

The Christman2 Surname Project mission is to unite families, find
cousins, and discover family history through active interchange
between family members and is being administered by a Christman. Each
member will have his own Family Tree DNA page and can match his Y-DNA
against all others through Y-Search. Individual names and results are
held privately and securely against any threat of ID theft.

While a surname itself usually can provide some general information
about the origin of a family, DNA-testing can give us additional new,
concrete, scientific evidence for identifying and separating family
lines. Y-chromosome DNA testing is especially helpful because the male
Y-chromosome is handed down, father to son, unchanged through the
generations, except for rare mutations which, in themselves, can be
helpful indicators of branching. These mutational differences can be
used to sort related family lines into branches and of course can be
used to sort the various Christman, Christmann and Chrisman clans in
the USA and World into those which are genetically related and those
which are not. This is a great aide to traditional research as you
will know which lines to focus on as being truly your own clan.

The accessibility and affordability of family DNA testing is doubtless
the greatest technical advance in the history of genealogical research
because -- at long, long last -- we have a tool to break down those
brick walls and give clues to a genealogists "missing links"!
Membership in a Family Tree DNA project such as Christman2 is a great gift
to give your family; costs for testing are minimal and affordable
often saving hundreds of dollars and giving a gift to your descendants
that will last forever.
