Did your ancestors sieve, were they severe, did they came from the north, sever ties to get here? JOIN US! All are welcome to join this project, including those descended from Siebert lines. Only males have Y-chromosomes*, so only direct male lineage testing will be useful to prove descent, connect family lines, and assist in genetic genealogy connections. If you are female*, you can have a male relative (in your SEVIER-SEAVER-SEVER direct line) submit a sample. As before, this is a YDNA Project, however, members with known SEVIER-SEAVER-SEVER matrilineal descent are welcome to join--perhaps we can discover a SEVIER-SEAVER-SEVER mtDNA haplogroup or two! All spelling variations are welcome--there are so many as the SEVIER-SEAVER-SEVER people came from and through so many different countries and ports before settling in or arriving at their final destinations. Some variants include: SEVIER, SEVIERS, SEVIAR, SAUVER, SEVERE, SIVIER, SEVERS, SEIVERS, SIVYER, SEVERS, SEAVER, SEVEIR, SAVER, SIEVERS, SEVIOR, SEVIOUR, SEEVIOUR, SEEVER, SEEVERS, SEVYEAR, SAVIER, SAVIOR, SAVIERS, SEVER, SAUVEUR, and many other variations. Some versions included the final -s and some did not. Sometimes this changed from one generation to the next. To participate meaningfully, testees will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to their earliest known male ancestor in their line, in the form of a pedigree (excluding living persons). The most limited form of project sharing is also helpful, but this is always at user discretion. Welcome and thank you for joining! *It must be noted that exceptions exist for everything, and chromosomal disorders are definitely an exception when it comes to X and Y chromosomes
