Description
Using the markers from the male Y chromosome, which
pass virtually unchanged from father to son, several things can be determined. It is possible, for instance, to determine which lines of Stinnett, Stinet, Stinnette, Stennett or variant in the United States are related and possibly even link back to related lines in Europe. Additionally it may be possible to learn which Haplogroup or Haplotype your markers place you in and what part of the world your paternal Y ancestor originated. The area may or may not be very specific. But it is very interesting!
Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX was chosen for their excellent reputation:

ATTENTION:
Stinnett males interested in participating in this DNA study are strongly urged to participate in the 37-marker study or the 67-marker study rather than the 12 marker study, with the minimum recommended being the 25-marker study. The 12-marker study can no longer be used effectively to compare results and draw tentative conclusions.]

To be eligible you must be a male with the surname ofStinnett, Stinet, Stinnette, Stennett, Sinnett or a variant. Females who descend from a female born a Stinnett may take the mtDNA test at the group rate, but will not be included in the Surname Study. Stinnett is spelled many ways and pronounced three different ways that I know of.
ATTENTION:
All participants of the National Geographic Genographic DNA Project
who are descended on a direct paternal or maternal line from Stinnett, Stinet, Stinnette, Stennett, or any variant
are welcome to join the Stinnett Genealogy DNA Project!
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.
