Description
Y-DNA Project for Sanders, Saunders, Sanderson, Saunderson, and variations. All geographical regions of origin. Our goal is to confirm or disprove genealogical relationships.
Requirements: Participants should be MALE and carry one of the project surnames from their biological father. Females wishing to participate may order a test for a male Sanders (etc) relative. When joining our project we also ask that you send a list of your male ancestors (father, grandfather, great grandfather etc.) and approximate birth year which will be compared with others in the project. Send information to the Sanders-Saunders-Sanderson-Saunderson Group Administrator below.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
