Description
Welcome to the Fanning DNA Project! Our goal is to use both Y-DNA (from father to son) and at-DNA (50% from mom, 50% from dad), coupled with traditional genealogical research, to learn more about our ancestors. There are three requirements to joining intended to make the project collaborative and productive:
- Fanning variant surname (or provide your Fanning line).
- FTDNA kit number with relevant DNA test.
- Fanning variant surnames can have either Y-DNA or at-DNA test to join.
- Non-Fanning variant surnames must have either an at-DNA test or a Y-DNA test showing clear matches to Fanning (suggesting a non-paternity event).
- At least "Limited" access to the admin team.
- This setting is found in your FTDNA kit's "Account Settings" under the "Project Preferences" tab.
- Anonymous information on members will be posted to the public results page to make the project collaborative and productive. This page will not include identifiable information like email addresses or living persons without permission from the kit owner. The page will include the kit number, Fanning pedigree (excluding living persons), and relevant DNA analysis.
Please see the FTDNA resources section for information on their
three basic tests.
Transfers from other DNA testing companies are welcome. DNA projects are a collaborative effort, so we also ask each member to submit their Fanning pedigree (living persons are kept private). You can find our current Y-DNA data in the
DNA Results section off our main page. Analysis of these results can be found in the
Results tab of the
About section, along with pedigrees.
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.
