VALKOs, WALKOs, V/Walk???? with known ancestors back to 1870s, or earlier, may qualify for testing at reduced rate(s). Please inquire. george@georgevalko.com Your Group Administrator-George Valko has enjoyed more than 15 years compiling genealogy data and published two VALKO family history books. The beginning of this yDNA project will be 2 years old in Spring 2006. Many USA Valko families are already in George's database. The USA database has good VALKO data by state for IL, IN, WI, MI and some VALKO data for NY, CT, CO, OH, PA, CA, NE and Ontario. Valkos from Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Ukraine, Poland and England are also in this database WALKO family data, as above, is in this database also. Each participant gets their results from familytreeDNA.com with access codes to their data, a certificate, and positive and negative relationship results within the VALKO family surname group. 67 or 37 marker tests are the best entry to the group. A 12 marker test is cheaper and the minimum to determine any relationship results. The more markers tested reduces the time frame to any common ancestor. Test fees are determined by familytreeDNA.com. Please visit the familytreeDNA.com site for helpful information regarding all DNA testing, pricing and privacy information.

NOTE- the Y-DNA tests can show common ancestors thousands of years before the adoption of surnames. Y-DNA IS PASSED IN AN UNBROKEN CHAIN FROM FATHER TO SON. Females should request a brother or male cousin with that surname to be tested. The test to be ordered is either Y-DNA37 or Y-DNA67.
