WOLPER SURNAME PROJECT- Background

Background

The WOLPER Family Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing.

For men, you may test your Y-DNA. In this case, you must have the surname WOLPER or a spelling variant of this surname (such as WOLPERT, WALPER, WALPERT, VOLPER, VOLPERT, VALPER, VALPERT, etc.).

For men or women who want to test their maternal ancestry, you will need to order the mitochondrial DNA test. This test should be ordered if ANY of the following apply:
your mother´s mother´s mother, OR
your mother´s mother´s mother´s mother, OR
your mother´s mother´s mother´s mother´s mother, and so on down the mother´s maternal line of the family, had the surname WOLPER or a variant spelling of the surname.
