Project News
As of December 9, 2008, we have 145 results, and 4 more "in the works", plus 13 upgrades from 12 to 37 markers which are in progress.
Please consider a donation to this project to assist in testing those in Romania and Hungary who would like to participate, but can't afford to do so. Contributions can be made via the project general fund or by contacting the project administrator.
On August 19, 2007, we held a very successful meeting of Bukovina Szekely descendants in Regina, Saskatchewan (about 50 people attended, and fourteen new project members were tested).
We have found twelve matches between Bukovina descendants and like-surnamed men in Transylvania. We've also determined that three different Bukovina Sebestyén families have the same ancestor in recent history (this connection was established through DNA evidence since it predates the "paper trail")
If you have a Bukovina surname you would like tested either in Transylvania or Hungary, I will do my best (you will need to reimburse me only for the cost of the kit itself).
László Rudolf has completed and published his "family book" of Józseffalva. He plans to follow this with volumes on each of the other villages as well. Andrásfalva will be next).
