Y-DNA (Male-Line) Study of Sanford, Sandford, Samford and Similar Surnames
  • 144 members

About us

1. Encourage participation of male-line Sanford men whose Y-DNA testing may contribute to the other goals of the project. (Means: Semi-annual project email; annual Ancestry message board updates; establishment of project funds for targeted participants.)


2. Compile results into distinct genetic family groups, i.e., Y-DNA subjects who likely share a common Sanford ancestor within a genealogical timeframe. (Means: Skilled review and presentation of Y-DNA data.)


3. Help Sanford researchers work together to identify unknown ancestors. (Means: Maintain patriarch profiles; post earliest known ancestors; quality administrator responses to emails; semi-annual project website updates.)
