Participating in a Surname DNA Project provides:

• The opportunity to compare a participant's genetic DNA with that of other project members which cab help establish earliest known ancestor.
• The participant's "deep" ancestry (Haplogroup), which identifies the paternal ancestor's prehistoric origins.
• A sense of camaraderie, which is particularly strong for those who share a genetic ancestry
• Stimulation to family research and renewed sharing of information
• A wider sense of identity and relationship, as we begin to realize how much we are a World Family.
• Your genetic matches who do not share your common surname
