Description
Daniel van der Merwede b. 1180 A.D. male line decent project. This project is open to any male line decendant and is not limited to the specific surname.
The main lines from Daniel are well documented. But, there are patches that are unclear. this testing can give us a clearer view of the various branches. With the higher marker tests such as the 37 or 67-marker we will actually be able to narrow down the time frame that the family branched.
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.
