Description
Welcome to the Pugh Surname DNA Project. From this page you can join our Project. Whether you can trace your Pugh lineage back 12 generations or only 2, you will learn some interesting facts through participation in the Project and will help the genealogical community make discoveries that are not possible through any other means. To learn more about us, please click here.
While we are just getting started, we have already made some startling discoveries. Genetic genealogy has revealed some important connections that were previously unknown and undocumented through conventional research methods. We are using this new tool in conjunction with conventional research to fill in some of the gaps that have long existed in Pugh genealogy and to make sense of some of the confusing relationships that have been published.
We welcome new participants and are actually looking for representatives of certain Pugh lineages and even specific branches. In order to participate in the Project, one must be a Pugh male (see Requirements below).
If you are unfamiliar with genetic genealogy, and do not know which test would be best for you, please visit the How Many Markers? page at our Project Website. You can get back to this page by clicking the join the Project link at the top of any page at our Website. Be sure to browse around our Website when you arrive there to learn more about what we have done and what we hope to do.
We have been gaining participants at a rate of 2-3 per month so your chances of learning something very exciting about your Pugh line or branch are very good at this time and are improving almost every week. If you have an interest in Pugh genealogy, you must join us. You will be glad you did and we will be ever so grateful for your contribution to this ground-breaking Project.
Thank you for your interest and we hope to be working with you soon.
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.
