Description
Project initiated with first participants descending from a Nathan Kimble born somewhere in New Jersey in 1794, and who died in Seneca County Ohio in 1881. We look forward to recruiting anyone with the surname of Kimble or Kimball, and other spelling variants. Our ultimate goals are not only to help solve genealogical brickwalls, but to gain insight on the origin of the Kimble/Kimball surname.
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.
