The families that join this project do so because of a close genetic relationship on the Y-Chromosome specifically the SNP E-FT262149

BELYAKOV

"Samuil Abramovich "Belyakov" did not live to see the distribution of surnames, but all of his descendants are Belyakovs" The earliest known origin of the Belyakov family is found in Gordeevo Russia.

CIOBANU

KIEMLE

Michael Kiemle was born about 1690 in Lenningen, Esslingen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Lenningen - Wikipedia

Urban Kiemle is the son of Michael Kiemle and Sybilla Haas. He was born 15 March 1714 in Tiefenbronn. He married Henrica Morlock on 26 Nov 1747.

Urban Kiemle is the one that received the Kiemle “Coat of Arms” "Saarbrucken"

LOSA

The Losa family comes from Rev. Vaclav Losa son of John Losa and Eleanora Bartusek of Nosislav, Moravia, Czech Republic. He came to the United States and founded the Hussite Society and served for many years as a leader and role model.

We hope to find other Losa members of the same family to join us.

MEIER

Anton Mayr married M.A. Schaul on May 30th, 1798, in Weilbach, Pfaffenhausen, Bavaria. 

Their son Georg Mayr was born on July 6th, 1799. Georg moved to Grasheim, Karlshuld, Bavaria where he married his second wife Walburga Helfer on April 9th, 1844, and their son Anton Mayer married Walburga Bauch on June 11th, 1867. 

Anton came to the United States and its through his son Ludwig (Louis) that has tested. 

SCHMID

Jacob B. Smith was born about 1770. He married Mary Shockey on July 15th, 1796, in Montgomery County Virginia. 

Jacob and Mary had 5 sons on the 1810 Census 4 of them have been tested.

John Smith m. Polly Shilling on July 11th, 1824, in Montgomery County Virginia

Henry Smith m. Rebecka Picklesimer on March 3rd, 1825, in Montgomery County Virginia

Abraham Smith m. Amy Williamson on October 4th, 1831, in Lawrence County Kentucky

Jacob Smith m. Jane Townsend maybe in Kentucky

SCHNEIDERHANS

Please visit this site here http://www.familie-schneiderhan.de/index.php?lang=en_US

In 1458 Hans Schneider can be found having a son named Johann Schneiderhans in Buhl by Kiebingen, Tubingen (then Rottenburg) Wurttemberg, Germany. 

The Schneiderhan family has confirmed their paper trail through two sons of Johannes Schneiderhan born 1662 in Buhl Tubingen. Johannes Schneiderhan is the son of Jakob Schneiderhans, 4th great grandson of Hans Schneider.

SCHNELL

Andreas Schnell married Anna Margaretha Zimmerman on 10 May 1697 in Heslach, Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg Germany. Our Schnell family come from the line of Johann Jacob Schnell. He arrived in the United States on 20 November 1854. More descendants of Andreas Schnell are welcome to join the project.

HABAN HUTTERITES

A study conducted on the Haban population of Slovakia has tested a minimal set of STRs. Although they did not test the locations we would have hoped for, over 40% of the Haban are V13 and are a 12/12 marker match with members of our project. We hope to find members of the Haban community to join us so we can test them for at least 37 markers... it may be that a majority of the Haban are Z16988.
