Description
Anyone may join (females are welcomed).
This tests the Y chromosome for genetic matches between males.
This test will hopefully help determine name changes. Chalmers, Chambres, Chamberlin, and Chamberlain are encouraged to join this project.
All project members can view and update the activity feed when they are signed on to FamilyTreeDNA.
Please log on to FamilyTreeDNA and provide your earliest ancestors name, birthdate and birthplace - If you have not done so. You can do this by clicking on your name in the upper right corner and then click on the genealogy tab.
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.
