Project Background:
A pioneering Genetic Genealogy project to study the various Roth families in the USA and to learn if they share a direct line recent common male ancestry. Also, if possible to genealogically link the Roth families in the USA with those in Europe.

WHO CAN JOIN: Roth (or similar sounding or spelled) surnamed males or someone sponsoring a Roth surnamed or similar sounding/spelling surnamed male. Only males can be tested for this project since only males have Y-DNA.

HOW TO JOIN THIS PROJECT: At this time you must have been tested either directly via FTDNA or indirectly via FTDNA via the NGS Genographic Project to join this project. Genographic Project customers must first do the free transfer of their results from the NGS database to FTDNA's database. See the "Learn More" link at the bottom of your Genographic Project personal page for how to do the free transfer of your test data to FTDNA or call FTDNA for assistance in doing the transfer. Once you have a personal account page at FTDNA, to join this Roth project sign/log in to your FTDNA personal account page and click on the blue JOIN button in the upper part of your personal page screen. Find the "Surnames" projects section. Click on the letter "R" category. Then click on the Roth project link. You will then see a description of this project. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the small white join button at the bottom of the Roth project join page. That is all there is to it. Also, be sure to fill in the earliest known Roth male ancestor in that field near the bottom of your User Preference section page in your FTDNA personal record. If you have not been tested before either by FTDNA or the Genographic Project and want to join this project you need to order a YDNA test kit. Click on the Request to Join This Group link in the upper left hand corner of this screen to contact the Project Admin and arrange ordering your test kit.
