Description
The Hinshaw Surname Project is open to individuals with a Hinshaw/Henshaw/Hanshaw surname and anyone with a derivation of one of those surnames (see the surnames in the project below) or anyone wanting to research a Hinshaw ancestry.
Brothers, sons, sisters, cousins, nieces, mothers, grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers, et. al., who have relatives with such surnames are certainly welcome to encourage their relatives to join.

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.
