DNA Project for Greathead and variants

I have been considering whether to start a DNA project or not. Finally I decided to set one up with Family Tree DNA, the pioneer and the world's largest DNA company in the new field of genetic genealogy

DNA tests will help identify, prove and break down brickwalls in my research. Hopefully it may also provide evidence of that source that I have long attempted to find.

The Paternal DNA, passed from father to son, tests the Y-chromosome, which is only found in males and is useful in verifying common ancestry. The DNA test will be the very extensive 37 marker paternal test. A perfect match of 37 markers means that the two individuals matching shared a common ancestor in recent times.

It will also provide us with more information, like deep ancestral origins, matches with other individuals that share the same results, our recent ethnic origins, and FTDNATiP - the Time Predictor to the Most Recent Common Ancestor between the test takers.

The Family Tree DNA test kit consists of three cheek scrapers and three collection tubes--designed for a single persons use.

If you are interested in joining this project do contact me, and I will attempt to explain the technicalities, costs, and outcome.

I do hope some of you will come forward and take part in this valuable exciting project
