Description
This is a Y-chromosome DNA project for the Norman surname (and its variant spellings).
We include all Normans worldwide.
In the United States, our research focuses on identifying immigrant ancestors, especially those earliest ancestors who arrived in VA, MD, and MA during the 1600s and 1700s. We are looking for descendants of these early Colonial Normans, all of whom are urged to join us in this study.
Outside the U.S., we seek to find the geographic origins of all the various Norman lines. All Normans worldwide are welcome and encouraged to join.
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.
