About us
This project will use Y DNA test results to increase our understanding of the relationship of the various Hartstack lines and variations Hartstak, Hartstock and Hartsock and perhaps others.
Although there is interest in the origin of the surname, a more focused short-term objective is to connect descendants of the Hartstack families who came to America from Germany, some more than 150 years ago. We encourage all Hartstacks to participate since it will be especially important to have data from Hartstacks who did not emigrate in order to establish connections in other countries. Simply put, the goals are to:
· Identify the Hartstack families
· Validate existing research
· Resolve brick wall issues for Hartstacks who have been unsure of their ancestry
· Determine areas for additional research
· Establish a DNA database for future researchers
