Description
The purpose of the Stanley Surname DNA Project is to provide information that aids genealogists researching the Stanley surname. By performing Y-DNA tests on males with the surname STANLEY and its various spellings, we will able to build a database with the many Stanley lines and to group them by their DNA signatures. As DNA signature groups are formed, we can compare the lineage of individuals with the lineage of others in the same group in the hope of finding links or a common ancestor between the various Stanley families. As more people are being tested and more Stanleys are identified, we will be able to establish a genealogy DNA identifier for the Stanley immigrant ancestor(s) or for a particular Stanley oldest known progenitor of the line.
This could provide an excellent opportunity to gain further information on your family, and overcome longstanding road blocks.
As a participant in this project you will qualify for reduced pricing.
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.
