Description
Everyone with the surnames Schrag, Schrock, Schrack, or any variation, is invited to participate in our project. We aim to sort out our family trees, learning as much as possible about both our early origins and the many branches that have developed. We particularly encourage people to join in the project from as wide a range of family branches, backgrounds, nationalities, religious and ethnic groups, etc., as possible, as the greater the range of participants, the more we can learn. We hope to hear from you! We also welcome anyone who has reason to believe - or to wonder whether - their family is related to ours (such as Sternemans/Stirnimann or Gertsch families). Let the DNA speak! We urge you to order at least the 37-marker Y DNA test unless your financial means don't permit it, as this is needed to adequately compare family branches. We also welcome mtDNA tests (despite what the company says below about requirements), above all if your maternal line is of a similar background to your paternal one. Please do get in touch and share all you know of your genealogy. Thank you!
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.
