Description

A genealogist’s journey to fully understand and document their family tree becomes more challenging the farther back in time their research leads. Historical events and time itself conspire to impede the most ardent researchers. It is inevitable that after oral history, family records, public and other known sources have given up their information, a progress ending “brick wall” is often encountered. In the dawn of our new century, genealogists have been given new tools to help breach these walls. As genetic science progressed, it became clear that genetic information which is passed from generation to generation, held a treasure trove of information, which if properly decoded, could provide genealogists with tools of unprecedented effectiveness. The Chapman DNA project initially was centered on Y-Chromosomal testing as the Y-Chromosome was passed from father to son as was normally the case with the Chapman surname. With the increasing popularity of Mitochondrial testing among the Chapman Project Group members, the project web page has been expanded to include limited mitochondrial information for project members. The Chapman Project DNA Results page enables members to view the Haplogroups represented in the project and to obtain the kit numbers of persons tested within the project. Collaboration between individuals is possible thru the coordination with Project Administrators. Please remember that kit numbers provide a high level of anonymity of project members. Never associate a kit number to an individual’s name or email address in any public forum as this would violate privacy requirements of the project. The Chapman Project “Activity Feed” is provided for project members to share experiences, to ask questions and offer suggestions in support of the Chapman genealogical community.

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.

  • For men only.
  • Highest level of Y-DNA tests.
  • 111-marker matches are highly likely to be related within the past 4 generations.*
  • Provides genealogically relevant matches and recent ancestral origins.

  • NO subscription fees
Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. With the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest chance of finding close relatives by testing with us. However, if your paternal line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information right away. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

*Estimated for exact 111 marker matches, at a 95% confidence level.

FAMILY FINDER - FOR CLOSE GENEALOGY
Family Finder

  • For men or women.
  • Autosomal DNA test.***
  • Matches are related within about the last 5 generations.*
  • Provides percentages of your ancestral make-up (Native-American, Middle Eastern (including Jewish), African, West and East European)**
  • Recommended for genealogists.
  • Includes matches with predicted relationship ranges.
  • Great for confirming close relationships regardless of gender.****
* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about new close matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.

*** Family Finder has a test specific policy for failed samples and retesting. Please read the policy carefully.

****Please note, Family Finder does not provide Y-DNA or mtDNA haplogroup information.
