Description
DNA research, when coupled with a particular surname can help you cut a straight line to a distant ancestor - which will give you direction in your usual hard core genealogical research. You won't spend years researching a suspected branch that is unrelated. Also, taking the DNA test will preserve your family's DNA sequence for future researchers if the male counterparts of your surname disappear. Living male Jenkins family members are the only possible Y-DNA submitters! Unfortunately, no project data can be given out to non-members. You can become a member of the Jenkins project by ordering a Y-DNA kit. Only the actual Jenkins Y-DNA submitters will be listed as actual Members.
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.
