Description
Dear DNA Contributor to the Pack Family Y-DNA Project,
We are writing to you as President of the John Pack Family Association and administrators of the Pack Family Y-DNA Project on FamilyTreeDNA.com. In order to help this project progress, we have determined it has become necessary to compare the genealogies of those for whom we have Y-DNA. Thus, we are reaching out to ask everyone who matches the project Y DNA at 25 markers or more to email us back with as much information as you know about your Paternal Family ancestral line.
For example, Russell would provide the following:
Russell T Pack
born 1937 (still living, so I will not provide more)
John Terrell Pack
b. 10 March 1910 Grace, Bannock, Idaho, USA
d. 21 January 1987 Grace, Caribou, Idaho, USA
Horace Alvin Pack
b. 11 April 1889 Kamas, Summit, Utah, USA
d. 12 January 1980 Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho, USA
Quince Rufus Pack
b. 27 November 1857 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, USA
d. 27 July 1953 Grace, Caribou, Idaho, USA
John Pack
b. 20 May 1809 Saint John, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada
d. 4 April 1885 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, USA
George Pack Sr
b. 20 December 1768 Rahway, Essex, New Jersey, British Colonial America
d. September 1838 Grand River Township, Daviess, Missouri, USA
Job Pack Jr
b. About 1723 Rahway, Union, New Jersey, British Colonial America
d. After June 29, 1775 British Colonial America
Job Pack Sr
b. 21 November 1690 Elizabeth Township, Essex, New Jersey, British Colonial America
d. 13 April 1750 Rahway, Union County, New Jersey, British Colonial America
George Packe
b. About 1634, England (this is our best guess – this is one of the BIG pieces of the puzzle that we are searching for)
d. 1704 Elizabeth Township, Essex, New Jersey, British Colonial America
Further, we would ask, if you know you are not a descendant of the John Pack, born 1809 in Canada, would you be willing to expand the number of DNA markers you have had tested? It would be great if you could pay for your own additional testing, but if you cannot, please contact us. For those not descended from John Pack, we would also like to ask if you would be interested in receiving some help tracing your family history? If so, contact us and we will find a way to help you with your family research. We are especially interested in the ancestral lines of those whose DNA connects with ours based off of the BIG Y 700 results. We are excited to discover our common ancestor!
We are trying to build the most complete Pack family tree possible, and we all would like to know how we fit together. The DNA is only one piece of this puzzle.
We look forward to hearing from you and cannot wait this project move forward.
Thank you,
Kathleen Skinner – John Pack Family Association President, Pack Y-DNA Project Administrator

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.
