Description
Do you descend from Anthony Morse d1686 Newbury MA, Joseph Morse d1646 Ipswich MA, William Morse d1683 Newbury MA, Samuel Morse d1654 Medfield MA, John Moss d1707 Wallingford CT, Daniel Morse d1863 Whitefield ME, John DeMorse d1798 ME, Mark Moss d 1710 Marblehead MA, Thomas Morse d aft 1655 VA, or David Morse d 1849 Penn Yan NY? Was your ancestor a Morse, Maus or Mors from Germany, Italy, France, Scotland, or Holland? If so, please join with other descendants of these Original Settlers and help us establish a solid genetic fingerprint for each of these lines by participating in our DNA testing program. Preliminary test results have given us clues that some of these lines may be inter-related, and are ruling out relationships between others. If you are unsure of your ancestral line, the test results could suggest new areas for your future research. If you are a male with the Morse, Mors, Morss or Moss surname, we would like you to consider participating in this new genealogical tool.
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.
