Description
This project is open to HAYNER/HAINER/HANER or any variant spellings including: HAYNOR, HAINOR, HANOR, HAHNER, HINER, and HEINER, HOEHNER, HOENER and HEANER. All these spellings are believed to have emigrated from Germany and/or Switzerland, and as we know, many different spellings emerged as children arrived in a new place with little knowledge of a new language. It will be interesting to find out if many of these last names share common roots. If you are interested in genealogy and would like to join our study and receive a substantial discount on your DNA Test kit, please fill in the form below. If your surname is not listed here, but you are a variant spelling of one of these name, please e-mail the Group Administrator to have your spelling added. We welcome all with variant surnames who need a project home. Once we establish genetic family history, we will split off those who wish to have a separate 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.
