Description
CRAWFORD, CRAUFURD, CRAUFORD, CRAWFURD, CRAFFORD, CROFFORD, CRAWFORT, CRAFOORD, CROWFORD, KRAFFORD, and any other reasonable spelling variations are welcome to join the project.
Only males have Y-chromosomes, so only male CRAWFORD (or variant) can participate in the focal Y-DNA aspect of the project. If you are female, you can have a male CRAWFORD (or variant) relative submit a sample for your line. To participate meaningfully, those testing will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to the earliest known CRAWFORD (or variant), as a pedigree (living persons should be marked as living so they are privatized).
We strongly suggest prospective male Crawfords (however you spell your surname) to test the Y-DNA37 or higher, as the lower levels (Y-DNA12 and Y-DNA25) do not provide enough power to reliably group you into the appropriate lineage. Please see other pages on this project website, and
the DNA pages on the Clan Crawford Association website, for further information.
If you are considering buying a test from FTDNA, please click this link (below) now, and if you make a purchase within a week after that, a small percentage of the payment (at *no* additional cost to you!) will come back to the Crawford Project's General Fund. This fund is held by FTDNA, and can only be used against future testing costs, assuming the main project admins agree it can further the project's goals (e.g., defraying costs to test a well-documented descendant of a historically significant Crawford branch). The link sets a 1-week cookie in your browser so that FTDNA knows to associate your purchase with the Project, then it disappears. Here is the link:

Thanks for your interest and participation!
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.
