Project Background
This is a Genographic Project for Belgium, Walloons (Brabant, Hainaut, Liege, Luxembourg, Namur, and Brussels provinces). Although it centers on the Quartemont surname, it is open to all individuals who believe they have paternal or maternal direct lines coming from or in Belgium. DNA testing, both yDNA for paternal lines and mtDNA for maternal lines can provide a picture of the deep and recent ethnic background of Belgians and their descendants. See the goals section for more project information. The success of this project will depend on the number of individuals that are willing to join and furnish useful information.
Although a 12 marker test is good for determining deep ancestral or to exclude one from a group, the 37 marker test is needed to make full use of DNA genealogical research. I would recommend you consider upgrading to or starting with a 37 marker test.
Please include on your application form the surname of the person tested, and if you known, include the geographic origin and year of birth of their most distant Belgium ancestor.
