Description
The Sturdevant DNA Project is open to persons interested in working together to find their common heritage through genealogy, dna testing and sharing of information. All spelling variations are welcome. If your surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.
Most Recent Common Ancestors (MRCA) are:
Haplogroup I1 - William Sturdevant of Norwalk, Connecticut (with DNA links to Sweden)
Haplogroup R - Samuel Sturtevant of Massachusetts
Haplogroup R - John Sturdivant of Virginia
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.
