About us
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father’s Y-DNA, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father to father to father …) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test.
Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
To use DNA to trace the two spelling variations (Pridgeon/Pridgen) to common ancestors in the US,UK, and for that matter any with the original French spelling of Prujean.
