The Harms DNA project has been established to determine the relationships of the various Harms families in America, Germany, and around the world in order to support genealogical research and provide a deeper understanding of Harms family origins. This is primarily a Y-DNA study for men with the surname Harms. The project allows participants to have their DNA tested at a group discount and provides a forum to compare DNA results, establish or confirm relationships, and coordinate genealogical research between scientifically proven relatives.
