About us
The objective of the Siver/Seibert Surname DNA Project is to use Y-DNA testing to identify the various Siver families and to bring together those members with common ancestry.
The Siver Surname DNA Project is organized under the resources of www.FamilyTreeDNA.com and is open to all Siver and Seibert males.
The results of the project are publicized through a web site at www.familytreedna.org with each member being identified with a private code to protect the privacy of the project members. The web page includes information about the first known arrival in America of the surname Siver from the Palatine section of Germany.
We expect that through the project we may find others who would not have otherwise been aware of their common ancestry.
We may also find project members who have unique markers that don’t match other project members. There are many possible reasons for this which we will discuss later.
Joining the Siver Surname DNA Project
The Siver Surname DNA Project offers a unique opportunity to advance global Siver family research and to leverage the existing Siver family research on a broad scale. No other approach provides the opportunity to identify potential family links that have long since been forgotten in history.
Participation is easy, just go to www.familytreedna.org and click on the search link at the top of the page to join the Siver Surname DNA Project.
Payment is via credit card according to following payment schedule:
Y-DNA 12 marker male test $ 99
Y-DNA 25 marker male test $ 169
Y-DNA 37 marker male test $ 229
The 37 marker test is recommended to give higher confidence in matches among people not previously known to be related. The 12 and 25 marker tests can be utilized as a trial starting point and then upgraded later to the full test.
After ordering, you will receive a simple DNA test kit to return your DNA sample for laboratory testing. The procedure is painless and similar to brushing your teeth.
