Description

The Drost Family Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and dna testing. All variant spellings, for example Dros, Dross, Droz, Drozd, Drozt, Droste en Drosten, are welcome. If you are not certain that you qualify for our project, please email me at: y.drost@home.nl, and I will be glad to discuss it with you. If you do qualify, please send me, via my email address above, the name of your Earliest Known Ancestor (EKA). We also encourage participants to provide an ancestor chart for publication on our web page. If privacy is a concern we need not publish the most recent generations. If you would like to participate in this portion of our project, then please send, via the same email address, an ancestor chart showing the names, vital dates and places of the parents for each generation you would like to include on our site. If you would like to view the charts currently published, please visit our web page at www.drost.ws We are grateful for your interest in our project and look forward to hearing from you. Deelname aan het Drost Familie Project staat voor iedereen die er in is geïnteresseerd om gemeenschappelijke voorouders te vinden door middel van DNA onderzoek. Iedereen met een variant op de achternaam Drost, zoals Dros, Dross, Droz, Drozd, Drozt, Droste en Drosten zijn welkom om zich bij ons aan te melden. Deelname aan ons project geeft een aantrekkelijke korting op de normale prijs. Heeft u de achternaam Drost of een variant daarop dan kunt u met ons project meedoen. We zouden het dan bijzonder op prijs stellen als u ons een stamboom van uzelf zendt en de naam van de oudst bekende voorvader. U kunt ook lid worden van onze studiegroep voor maar € 15,- per jaar. Voor meer informatie zie: www.drost.ws Wij danken u voor uw interesse en zien vooruit naar uw deelname aan ons project

Requirements

A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.

Surnames In This Project

Droos, Dros, Dross, Drosst, Drost, Droste, Drosten, Droz, Drozd, Drozt, Durost

  • Provides your deep ancestral origins.
  • Uncovers new branches (SNPs) on the paternal tree.
  • Find recent branches (SNPs) unique to your direct paternal line, your family, or you.
  • 10 million base-pair coverage.
  • Nearly 25,000 known SNPs tested.
  • We store your DNA for free, so that you can upgrade the tests in the future.
  • NO subscription fee.
  • Includes STR results from Y37, Y67, and Y111.
Y-DNA111

  • For men only.
  • Highest level of Y-DNA tests.
  • 111-marker matches are highly likely to be related within the past 4 generations.*
  • Provides genealogically relevant matches and recent ancestral origins.
  • Recommended for confirming a genealogical relationship with another male.
  • Provides your Haplogroup: deep ancestral origin of the paternal line.
  • We store your DNA for free so that you can upgrade the tests in the future
  • NO subscription fees
Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. With the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest chance of finding close relatives by testing with us. However, if your paternal line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information right away. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

*Estimated for exact 111 marker matches, at a 95% confidence level.

Y-DNA37

  • For men or women.
  • Autosomal DNA test.***
  • Matches are related within about the last 5 generations.*
  • Provides percentages of your ancestral make-up (Native-American, Middle Eastern (including Jewish), African, West and East European)**
  • Recommended for genealogists.
  • Includes matches with predicted relationship ranges.
  • Great for confirming close relationships regardless of gender.****
* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about new close matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.

*** Family Finder has a test specific policy for failed samples and retesting. Please read the policy carefully.

****Please note, Family Finder does not provide Y-DNA or mtDNA haplogroup information.
