Description
The Project is dedicated to the Levantine "Daou" family & members of other family surnames with oral traditions tracing their respective lineage (via direct patrilineal line) to the "Daou" family.
The project also welcomes members who have close Y-DNA genetic matches with any of the "Daou" family members in our project.
By joining, the project members give their unconditional consent to the project administrator(s) to join them to relevant FTDNA projects as well as to request further DNA tests for them whenever deemed necessary to help in identifying their particular lineage & terminal haplogroup.
For the results to be meaningful, prospective members are encouraged to take at least the Y-DNA 37 STR markers test. Further upgrades to higher resolution STR tests (Y67,Y111) can be ordered anytime later using the same DNA sample.
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.
