Financial contributions to the PATRUM DNA Surname Project are greatly appreciated. These gifts allow us to recruit participants who may not be able to afford the entire cost of testing, but the contributions may also be used to recruit cousins who are not particularly interested in genealogy.

Currently, we would appreciate any financial assistance for testing descendants of Peter & Henderson PATRUM of North Carolina. Peter (b. ABT 1775; VA) is thought to be the son of Francis PATRUM (b. 1745; Henrico Co, VA). Likewise, Henderson (b. 1819; NC) is thought to be the son of Peter.

Testing for the ancestry of Francis PATRUM of Henrico Co, VA has already been done. As such, we just need eligible participants with North Carolina roots to answer most of these questions.

Testing can be upwards of $200, so not every potential participant is willing or able to pay the whole cost. So, even if you are not a Male descendant still carrying the PATRUM Surname, you can still help this PATRUM DNA Surname Project with a financial donation of any amount.

Of course, if you would like your contribution to go towards any particular PATRUM line, your donation will be reserved for your requested purposes.
