Description
All Cate/Cates/Kate/Kates/Catt/Catus lines
This project was created to help sort out (in conjunction with traditional genealogy) all the various lines of the Cates/Kates/Cate family(all spellings).
There are many errors in lineages out on the Internet at this point--perhaps we can help correct some of them. For that reason, it is important that the earliest known ancestor (EKA) you list here is a PROVEN ancestor. Use Ysearch.org to post family lore, educated guesses & speculation on older generations, but for the sake of accuracy, please stick to documented ancestors in this project.
Project members may receive occasional updates from the project administrator, and may be assisted in joining their appropriate Haplogroup projects...
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.
