I originally started this 'Y-DNA' project to get answers and results that could possibly bring insight to my paternal research.

I'm looking forward to close Y-DNA matches resulting in paternal line discoveries by means of interatction with other researchers with the same or similar goals.

Umberger Y-DNA: If you are a 'Umberger' and have already tested your Y-DNA, even if you do not want to join this project, we would love to compare Y-DNA results. Feel Free to email me at findingfamily@yahoo.com

I have also learned to appreciate maternal ancestry. With the addition of my mtDNA results we can link to other members that have tested their 'full-sequence mtDNA' and discover areas where we can help each other trace our maternal lines and possibly find where our roots connect.
