Description
For men with the surname Sisco, Cisco, Siscoe, Francisco, Franciscus, Francis, or other variants; At present men tested have belonged to several different Y chromosome haplogroups, including R1b1b2a1b, G2c, I1a, E1b1b1, and N. This indicates that men with these surnames belong to several families with different European origins. Our goal is to find out which men are related and to try to discover the name and origin of the male ancestor in each family who was the first to come to North America.
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.
