Description
The HOUMPVALIS SURNAME PROJECT is for anyone who has a family history of surnames including HOUMPVALIS or KAHRIMANIS. There is a separate surname project for Kahrimanis but they are the same family.
At some time in the past 100 or more years, the family name of Houmpvalis was changed to Kahrimanis based on a deed of special strength and courage by a
Kahrimanis ancestor. It is thought that the local village initiated this change but that is information lost to time.
We are trying to find other family members based on
ydna since all connections between the Houmpvalis and the Kahrimanis has been lost.
If you know anyone with these names, please ask them to test and join this 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.
