Rusk DNA Project
Group Administrator: John LaMont




Project Background:
After spending the past ten years tracing my Rusk ancestors and their descendants, I decided it was time to start a Rusk DNA Project. I hope that this project will provide Rusk descendants with clues for furthering research and for determining the origins of their Rusk Ancestors.


Project Goals:
1. Confirm or disprove relationships between Rusks thought to descend from David Rusk (b. ca. 1735) and his wife Mary Bailey of Baltimore, Maryland.

2. Identify relationships, where they exist, between early American Rusk families, and provide a place for Rusk descendants to compare their Y-DNA markers to others.

3. Identify relationships between American Rusk families and their international counterparts.


DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members

* Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
