Description
There are several P-rr-tt families in the USA, Europe, and elsewhere. We now know which of most North American lines are/are not related to each other. However, we have only established a few connections between North American and European Parrotts; most families remain unconnected. The goals are to continue sorting out the various P-rr-tt families, and to establish connections between European P-rr-tt families and their relatives overseas. Based on these goals, members need to take a Y-DNA test and be willing to provide limited access to their results.
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.
