DNA Tests
The tests that we specialize in are Y-DNA Tests, which are essential for establishing relationships between any Rose families. The DNA involved comes from the Y chromosome, which is only found in males, and is passed down virtually unchanged from father to son for many generations. Therefore, to participate in the Rose DNA Project, the person providing the sample must be a male who carries the “Rose” surname (or variations thereof). Although a female cannot take a Y-DNA test, she can order a kit and ask a male family member to take the test for her.
All descendents of Roses (or variations thereof), both males and females, can order a mtDNA or a Family Finder test, and are welcome to join our project.
The Rose DNA Project recommends that all of our members order or upgrade to a Y-DNA 37 marker test - as a minimum. The Y-DNA 67 marker test can be beneficial in providing more definitive and conclusive results. This test can be useful in not only defining which family a participant belongs to, in some cases, the results can also be helpful in determining what branch in a family a participant belongs.
A Y-DNA Test traces paternal line (father’s, father’s, father and etc…) YDNA is passed down from father to son.
A mtDNA Test traces maternal line (mother’s, mother’s, mother and etc…) mtDNA is passed from a mother to all of her children.
A Family Finder Test traces ancestors from across all of your lines, paternal, maternal, and all of those lines in between (i.e. maternal great grandfather’s line, paternal grandmother’s line). A Family Finder looks at markers on autosomal DNA, which a child inherits equally from both of its parents.
DNA Testing Kit
The kit includes a set of instructions and everything necessary to take the test, including a waiver form which must be signed by whoever is providing the sample. The samples are obtained by simply brushing the inside of the cheek with little swabs. The tips of these swabs are then "ejected" into little vials of preservatives, which are then returned to the lab in a special envelope which is included in the kit.
To join the Rose DNA Project and order a kit at a discount, click on the JOIN REQUEST button in the toolbar at the top of the page, click on PURCHASE A TEST TO JOIN THIS PROJECT, and follow the instructions. The kit can be shipped either to you, or directly to the person for whom you are purchasing.

ANNOUNCING A NEW GROUP IN THE ROSE DNA PROJECT!!!
Group 49: Azores, Portugal - DaRosa, Rosa, Rose, etc.
Our newest member's earliest ancestor is Manuel Rosa born 1873 in Ribeirinha, Faial, Azores, Portugal. Y-DNA will be a perfect opportunity for this group to explore their origins because of unusual surname practices in Portugal. The Y-DNA does not usually follow any surname for long. Naming traditions are quite varied and children could be given several different surnames, from the same two parents, including additional patronymics.
