Description
At this time the Y-DNA111 marker kit or Big Y 700 kits are recommended (for males only). The Y-DNA 111 results or Big Y 700 provide the most value to our Y-DNA project and to other participants. mtDNA and Family Finder (atDNA) participants may also join our project. For any join request, please supply information on ancestry relevant to surnames included in this project.
Amason, Amerson, Amberson, Amis(s), Amons/Ammons, Amos(s), Emerson, Emmerson, Emberson, Emison and any other spelling variations of the surnames are invited to identify possible common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing. If your surname is not represented in this project and you feel the surname should be included, please contact Sandy N., Volunteer Administrator.
mtDNA and Family Finder (at-DNA) participants are included in our Emerson Amerson Amason DNA Project.

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.
