Description
Rader, R360, Rotter, Rötter, Roeder, Raeder, Roder, Röder Ryder, Rider or other phonetic spelling variation of these surnames anywhere in the world, If you are a male named or are a female who knows such a male, please consider participating in our project.
With research done by Jim Rader in 2012 we now know that there are many unrelated lines in Europe in 1700-1750. Many come from place names like "Rot" which include a few "Red Castles" and "Rot farms", others come from the attribute "Rot" (Red) red people who have a red beard or red hair and of course there are the professions such as: Wheel Maker - "Röder" and Clearer of the Forest - "Rötter". And this does not even start to account for the Reeders, Ryders and Rothers.
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.
