Scobey DNA Surname Project- Background

Background

The object of this project is to assist Scobey researchers in busting through the brick walls in their Scobey line. Plus, the exchanging of paper research once there are exact DNA matches.

We welcome any male Scobey (and the other surnames in this project) to join our group and take the DNA test. The y-chromosome is passed from father to son and it stays the same from generation to generation; it only changes once in every 500 generations. So only males with the last name of Scobey (or the other surnames in this project) can take this test. The link to join our group and purchase a test kit is on the left side of this page. Here are the costs of the tests:

* 12-marker test--$99
* 25-marker test--$169
* 37-marker test--$219

We highly recommend that you order a 25-marker or 37-marker test. But if you order the 12-marker test, you can always upgrade later on. The cost to upgrade from a 12-marker test to a 25-marker test is $90. From a 12-marker test to a 37-marker test, it is $149. So it costs a little more to upgrade, than if you purchase the 25-marker or 37-marker test now. To order your upgrade, go to your personal page and click on "tests" near the top of the page.
