Scope: Worldwide -- Originally focused on Turner families with roots in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern US, the Turner Project now welcomes all Turners (including variant spellings, e.g., Turnor, Turnour, Tournere, Tournier) who wish to identify their genetic cousins through DNA testing and sharing their paternal Turner lineage. Joining the project requires the purchase of a y-DNA 37 marker or higher test. The following two groups are accepted into the project. 1) Males whose surname is Turner with an unbroken paternal line of male Turner ancestors back to their earliest documented paternal ancestor and 2) Males of other surnames ONLY if their y-DNA test results match a significant number of Turner men at the y37 level or higher. Each member must provide the Group Administrator a paternal lineage including dates and locations, where known, back to their earliest documented male Turner ancestor. Information on living people is not made public. If you have a question, please e-mail the group administrator before ordering a test. The project is not a discussion group.
