Description
Welcome, visitor!
The global Strickler Surname DNA Project aims to supplement genealogical research on Strickler families with genetic evidence in hopes of further developing the Strickler family tree.
The surname Strickler was used in Switzerland as early as the 1400s. It appears to have been adopted by families living in a particular location near Wädenswil, along a mountain path known as the Strick.
Our DNA project welcomes and encourages participation by anyone from any part of the world who bears the surname Strickler or who believes himself or herself to be descended from an ancestor who bore the surname Strickler.
Using DNA testing, the Strickler Surname DNA Project can tell us which family lines are related, confirming or refuting lineages with established paper trails and pointing the way for further research for other lineages. It can also reveal particular DNA signature variations for particular family lines, enabling us to place previously unlinked families into their respective branches of the Strickler family tree.
Males who descend from a Strickler along their all-male ancestral line may participate in the project through Y-DNA testing.
Anyone who descends from a female Strickler along his or her all-female ancestral line may participate in the project through Mitochondrial (mt) DNA testing.
Anyone who descends from a Strickler along any of his or her ancestral lines may participate in the project through Family Finder (autosomal) DNA testing.

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.
