To see the relationship with the different Goins/many spellings, if any exists. Or to help group the Goins together with DNA matches. By setting up a Family Reconstruction Project at Family Tree DNA, the Goins DNA Project Group is taking advantage of a substantial group discount. It also allows us access to the test results, so we can see whether each of the lines is related (or not related) to one another. At this time, participants may start with either the Y-DNA 12-marker test, which costs $99+ $2 shipping fee or the 25 marker tests which costs $169 plus $2 shipping or the full 37 marker panel which costs $219+ $2 shipping fee. If you start with 12 and upgrade to 25 markers later, it will incur an additional $90 fee. So by ordering the 25 marker test initially, you save $21. Upgrading from 25 to 37 markers costs $59.00 more. If ordered initially an additional savings of about $10.00 is realized Wondering how to collect the DNA sample? Visit the Dorsey "DNA Collection" link: Click Here! Sometimes testing our own Y or mtDNA will not get us back to the fore-parent whose test we need. If you can't be tested for a known Goins line, you can help by donating money to help those who can be tested.
