Description
This is a Y-DNA project limited to males of LOWERY's and related spellings. Women may participate by recruiting/sponsoring a brother, father, or other male relative with the LOWERYs surname. FTDNA can set up result pages in both your names if that is what you wish.
You can find out about the testing by visiting the homepage for Family Tree DNA, http://www.familytreedna.com, they will be conducting the LOWERY DNA test. We suggest that you read as much as possible about Y-DNA testing, they will be able to answer many of the questions you may have.
To collect the DNA sample for the test you simply rub the inside of your cheek with the cotton swabs from a kit you buy through FTDNA when you join the LOWERY project. You can join by using this order page of the LOWERY Project Join Request. You can start with a 12, 25, or 37 marker test.

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.
