Description
The objective of this project is to combine traditional and genetic genealogy to try to discover our lineages as far as possible toward a common ancestor.
The Pettigrew/Petticrew Surname DNA Project will assist any genetic or surnamed Pettigrew, Petticrew, or Bedegrew to participate in FamilyTreeDNA Y-chromosome testing. Women may participate by recruiting a brother, father, or other male relative with the Pettigrew/Petticrew surname.
Close genetic relatives thus far identified include men with each of the following surnames: Bedigrew, Bowling, Brown, Browne, Burns, Eagleson, Eagleton, Greenlaw, Hamilton, Harper, Hill, Hughes, Manhood, Scott, Stevens, and Timms.
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.
