Description
PIERSON, PEARSON, PEARSEN, PEIRSON, PERSSON, PEHRSON, PEHRSSON, PEARSONS, PERSOON, PERSCHON, PERSOHN, PERSONS,McPHERSON and any other reasonable spelling variations are welcome to join the project. Only males have Y-chromosomes, so only male PIERSON/etc. can participate. If you are female, you can have a male PIERSON/etc. relative submit a sample for your line. To participate meaningfully, testees will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to the earliest known PIERSON/etc. When you get your results, please upload your gedcom to your page. You can do this and protect the privacy of the living, but its important to show the ancestry.
If your SURNAME is NOT Pierson, Pearson or any of it's variants, you should join a YDNA project for your SURNAME and NOT this one. NON SURNAME MATCHES ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT except in Paternal events like Adoption or illegimatcy and in Family Finder results.
There is more information at the previous Project site - www.familytreedna.com/public/pearson/
Don't forget to add your results to Y-Search
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.
