JOWERS DNA Project

Project Background

The JOWERS DNA Project is open to any male descendant with the JOWERS surname or various spellings of that surname. Our primary objective is to try and identify if this rare surname is from the same family in America and overseas.

Would we match Jowers from Wales? Are we all related?

We hope to have test participates very soon.

If you are a proven male descendant of Rev. Benjamin Jowers (1806 SC-died 1890 Elmore Co, AL) a sponsor has volunteered to pay for one male 12-YDNA kit from this line to DNA test in our project. Please contact the group administrator for more information.

We encourage JOWERS males from various family lines to DNA test in our new project. Families who are researching the JOWERS surname will need a male JOWERS to participate in Y-Chromosome testing for this project!!

Thanks,
