Description
The Dryden Family Project welcomes all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing. All variant spellings are welcome. The main Y-DNA subgroup of the Dryden Family is below U106/L48/L200/S21607/Y37778. The Y37778 grouping of SNPs also includes FT164578, FT88724 and FT88758 with several branches of Drydens below that. We've also discovered five other lineages with different subgroups.
In addition to our own surname, we have welcomed members of our extended DNA family that share the same haplogroup of S21607 that we do. Dating to around the 1st century AD, S21607 now includes over 25 different surnames from around the globe, mostly concentrated in North America, UK, Australia and Northern Europe.
Please join us and discover your heritage.
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.
