The PRIM family DNA project welcomes any direct male descendant of PRIM, PRIMM, PRIME,PRIMER, DeLa PRYME, PRYME or any variations of these surnames to DNA test.

Are we from the same family line? Genealogists for decades have thought everyone with this surname was related due to our rare surname.

RESULTS: DNA results in our project show there are at least four Prim/Primm, Primer and Prime families in the Colonies who are not related. Are there more than four? Which Prim/Primm's DNA match each other? Who is really related?

We welcome all Prim, Primm, Primer and Prime families from Europe to test in our project.

Recommend the Y-37 marker test or higher level for best results in this study.

DNA testing is a wonderful new tool in genealogy and can be used to find others of the same bloodline lineage. 

We encourage PRIM, PRIMM, PRIMER and PRIME males to DNA test.    Families who are researching their PRIM/PRIMM lineage need to have a direct male from your line to participate in Y-Chromosome testing for the project!

Our surname project is participating in the Family Finder autosomal DNA tests.  Both males and females can take this test.  If you have a male or female PRIM - PRIMM (or various spellings)  ancestor in your lineage tree down to seven generations it will show you cousin matches both paternal and maternal.

SIMPSON:    The Simpson's in this project represent North Carolina Simpson lines associated with the Prim families.  You are welcome to join this project. 

Thanks,

Janet Burks

Descendant of Kitchen Prim died North Carolina
