Project Background:

The Hunsicker Y-DNA Surname Project was started in Oct 2005 in an effort to use the latest in Genetic Genealogy DNA testing tools to investigate the relationship, if any, between the early Hunsicker and Hunsinger immigrants and to provide Y-DNA reference marker sets for each Hunsicker clan to aide in placing various descendants into the proper immigrant ancestor descendant clan.

Project Goals:

Determine the Y-DNA chromosome markers for various unlinked Hunsicker/Hunsecker family groups and similar sounding (in English) family surname groups in the USA, and to determine if any of them have a theoretical common male ancestor in Europe in the last 300-500 years. This Swiss and/or German family name first arrived in America in the early 1700s.
