Description
This project was undertaken to assist in the confirmation and collection of the different family lines which include Harrelson, Harralson, Harrilson, Haralson, Harrellson, Haroldson, and Harraldson surnames and to hopefully determine county of origin for these lines. This 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 are welcome. If your Surname is missing, we'll be glad to add it.
The primary questions and hopes of this Project at present are: 1. How many different lines are represented? 2. How are specific ancestors related to other family lines within this project? 3. Extending our Project to ancestral country by hopefully locating genetic cousins World Wide
ATTENTION:
All participants of the National Geographic Genographic DNA Project who are descended on a direct paternal or maternal line from Harrelsons or variant spelling are welcome to join the Harrelsons DNA 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.
