Mennonite DNA: Looking for males with less-common Low German names.
|
What can be learned from studying the yDNA of Low German Mennonites?
Find here a simplified explanation about why the mennoniteDNA Project is interested in obtaining yDNA data.
More data are needed.
The Mennonite DNA Project has data for the many Low German Mennonite names. However, the project
needs data from males with less-common Low German Mennonite names.
Tim Janzen has prepared the following list of those names. If you are male with one
of these surnames and would like to participate, please contact Tim (timjanzen@comcast.net) and Glenn Penner (gpenner@uoguelph.ca).
The Mennonite DNA Project is prepared to provide a free Y-chromosome test to any male of Low German Mennonite ancestry who has one of these surnames.
