Description
The surname Cust in England can be found in records dating back as early as the 1200s. However, its speculated origin goes back even further to the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, to a man by the name of Joceus/Goisfridus le Flemangh, called le Coste.
Goals/Objectives:
1. To determine the relationship between the male lines of Cust in Ireland.
2. To prove the speculated relationship between the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Cust families.
3. To determine/prove other lines of descent from Joceus le Flemangh.
4. To determine if there exists any genetic relationship in the male line between the surname Cust and etymologically similiar surnames: Cast, Cost, Coste, de Coste, Coust, et al (C*st).
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.
