Description
Crew-Crewe-Crewes-Crewse-Cruise-Cruse-and other variations--
This is a project for determining the Y DNA signatures of males named Crews, and its many variations, anywhere in the world. The study has so far identified 5 haplogroups among participants. Migration and literacy have also resulted in various spellings of the name, even among close relatives, as demonstrated by data establishing perfect 37 marker matches between Crews and Cruse testers. This kind of result can provide family researchers direction for further genealogical study.
We are also attempting to determine the ancestral families for the Crews immigrants from the UK and Eire, to the English colonies, past and present.
Thank you for considering participation in our study.
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.
