About us
- Which family lines are related? Which researchers should be collaborating because their lines have a common ancestor?
- How many entirely distinct family lines exist?
- Can connections be made between the families still in the U.K. or Eastern Europe and those who emigrated to America, Australia, and elsewhere?
- Will some Slaven lines connect to other surname groups because of adoptions, common ancestry before surnames were adopted, other reasons?
- What family lines can we connect using the FamilyFinder test? The Y-DNA test will always the number one test for surname projects, since the Y-chromosome follows the male line, as does the surname in Western societies. Of course, many families with Slaven ancestry don't have an unbroken male line to the present time, which makes a Y-DNA test impossible. But through autosomal DNA testing, we may be able to connect families to the fourth cousin range (shared third great-grandparents), and sometimes beyond!
