Description
A Y-Chromosome DNA surname project to identify the Kerssenbrock haplotype and use this fingerprint to determine how the various Kerssenbrock name variations interconnect. Questions that project results may contribute to answer include: To what degree are those bearing the surname linked to a common ancestor and if possible to find their respective villages or regions in Germany? Did the surname arise from multiple families in independently geographic areas or for other reasons?
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.
