Description
Objectives:
1. Identify others who are related
2. Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors
3. Solve brick walls in our research.
If you're visiting our Autry DNA Project webpage for the very first time and are considering becoming a part of this historic family research, consider this. In order for the project to be a success we need direct male descendants, since the Y-chromosome is passed from father to son. As you know, there are numerous variations of the family name, each representing a family line in our great, extended family. If you qualify as a 'direct male descendant' we would appreciate it if you'd participate as the Genetic Representative for your particular family line. Your DNA sample could serve as a turning point in our research. Think of your ancestors, think of your children, and consider the this moment in history... then join us as we explore our family legacy.
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.
