Description
Our Projects purpose is finding ancestral links for the various forms of the 'Case' surname throughout the world. Determining countries of origin including but not limited to England, Ireland, and Germany. We hope Europeans, and others will find ways to test, to reconnect our various lineages!
Males may join with a Y-37 or higher kit, when looking for direct paternal matches. Females may obtain Y-37 or higher kits from their father, uncle, brother or Case male cousin. In order to benefit the project, we request all new members provide direct Case lineage, to the earliest known male Case ancestor. Dates of birth, death, location and spouses are requested. Male adoptees who suspect a Case father, etc. may join.
All members are encouraged to take the Family Finder DNA test. This is an autosomal fan-chart approach to connecting with cousins. It may be possible for females to connect to existing Y lineages through comparing their cousins. Matching will be most effective if both male, and female members of the project take the Family Finder test. Provide written lineage to a Case ancestor, with associated details helps. It is private and if requested for a particular kit the Administrators will help try to connect the dots.
Females or males may order an mtDNA or FGS test for themselves. To join, please included your direct maternal lineage going back to a female ancestor with maiden name Case, including; dob, dod, location and spouses. Knowing the maternal surname changes with each generation makes the results of this test, inherently less useful [for our purposes] than Family Finder.
If you have any questions, please contact the Case Project group administrators.
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.
