Snell Surname DNA Project- Background

Background

This project was started in an effort to determine the DNA signature of one or more Snell families, with the present group of participants being connected to the Snell family of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. We hope that will expand to other families who share the surname, whatever their European origin.

As part of that effort, we are asking for donations of any size to the project's general fund. So far, donations have been received from:

Katherine Benbow, in honor of Seward Bezer Snell and Miriam Snell
Snell Family Association, in honor of Stephen Holmes Snell
Stephen F. Snell
Jere Snell
Jennifer Snell

The administrator has reserved five Y-DNA37 kits using most of the funds in the general fund, at the holiday season sale price, for a combined savings of $100.  More contributions are welcome, to help with future purchases.
