The DNA Project Family Tree DNA Reconstruction Want to join the project - but your family name isn't listed? No problem. Just contact John. Science has progressed to the point that DNA will now be able to answer these questions. The DNA tests will tell participants if they have an ancestor in common and a range of generations back that ancestor is on the family tree. Example: Let's say one of John's GGGGGrandsons and one of Solomon's GGGGGrandsons each take the 12 marker test. Their tests show that they have a common ancestor 14 generations back. Now we know they were definitely related. But, let's say one of John's GGGGGrandsons and one of Solomon's GGGGGrandsons each take the 25 marker test. Their tests show that they have a common ancestor 7 generations back, then we will know that John and Solomon were brothers. Won't that be an exciting day!!! This DNA test is a saliva test using a tool that looks like a giant cotton swab that you run around the inside of your mouth. Participants must be male descendants from an all male descendancy line. We are using Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) which is a Houston, TX based company specializing in DNA testing for genealogy purposes. I encourage you to visit their web site to learn more about DNA testing and the Family Tree Reconstruction projects. If you are interesting in participating, contact John (project coordinator). If you qualify, a test kit and instructions will be mailed to you. The more participants we get, the more proof we will have to find the elusive answers to those important family tree questions. |
