Probasco/Bartoszewski/Bartos DNA Study- Background

Background

This Y-DNA project was set up to study the results of our participants to determine where our ancestors may have originated in the world. The Y-DNA (male only) results from the Probasco and Bartoszewski project prove that the two surnames came from a common ancestor between 1411 AD and 1531 AD. We have an unusual Y-DNA value combination that is rarer than the typical result, and by studying the Y-DNA results of those with the surnames listed we hope to determine our origin. We also are studying the surname Bartos which comes from shortened versions of the listed surnames.

We are working in conjunction with the National Genographic Project spearheaded by National Geographic and the YHRD international DNA databank to make this determination.

We need the participation of all with the listed surnames to accomplish our goals.
