Description
Welcome to the DELANO Kindred DNA surname project. Any male of the surname Delano/DeLano/Delanoy/deLannoy/De La Noy or other spelling variations are eligible and we are seeking descendants who are interested in sharing information to find their common heritage through DNA testing. Our goals are: to authenticate theories regarding our ancestry; resolve genealogical dead ends or brick walls that have member's baffled; reduce the number of unknown lines; validate existing lineages and develop a DNA database for future European research. Please visit www.delanoye.org for more details and explanations of our goals.
We are also interested in researching the Mahieu line. On 13 Jan. 1596 Peter du Bu and Gysbert Lano, the groom's father, were witneses at the betrothal of Jan de Lano and Mary Mahieu. [NEHGR 143:197-199]
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.
