Background

The Cornwell DNA & Ancestry Project began in 2004. We currently have 58 participants. The project is open to all participants who have the Cornwell surname or a variation. [When we refer to Cornwell, we are including all variations].

The project is a Y-chromosome DNA surname study. The Y-chromosome only exists in males. It is passed from fathers to sons. To participate you must be Cornwell male or descend directly in an unbroken paternal (male-to-male) line from a Cornwell male,

Since this is an ancestry project as well, you MUST share your direct Cornwell lineage. Reviewing submitted lineages in conjunction with the DNA results makes a more comprehensive interpretation.

Ladies are extremely valuable to our project. Since they can not be tested, they locate and sponsor a male Cornwell relative to participate in the project.

If you are intested in the project, can test or sponsor a relative, you can always donate to the general fund. The general fund has been established to assist in costs. If you would like to donate, please go to http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html.

We recommend the Y-DNA37 (37 markers) or Y-DNA67 tests. But if the "sticker shock" gets you, you can always order the Y-DNA12 and upgrade later. The project receives a discounted price for tests, so please join the project before you order your test.
