Description
The Vinson Project is entirely open for joining any male kit to, where the male DNA sample donor to the kit is a patrilineal descendant of an ancestor who had his name at least sometimes spelled Vinson in the records, or a patrilineal ancestor with a surname of a similar spelling (ANY variant spelling!, we’re not picky!). OR a patrilineal ancestor with a close STR or SNP match to a Vinson or similar spelling, but who has a different surname, for whatever reason.
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.
