Description
The Dahl surname and its variants (Soundex D400 and T400), may be found throughout Northern and Western Europe. The Dahl Surname DNA project is dedicated to using DNA and the tools of genetic genealogy to distinguish the Dahl paternal lineages.
As a surname project, the primary tool is the Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) that is passed down from father to son in much the same way as Western European surnames. The Family Finder autosomal DNA test may also be used to compare two individuals who are related within six generations.
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.
