We have just formed the Radke/Radtke DNA Project. This is a joint US/German project and is open to all Radke/Radtkes (and common variants) worldwide. We are dedicated genealogists, who hope that the use of DNA testing can help extend our family trees and provide us with a clearer picture of the history of these related surnames. The Y-chromosome is passed from father to son unchanged, except for the occasional mutation. Testing the Y-chromosome will provide you with a genetic finger print consisting of 12, 25, 37, or 67 numbers. By comparing this finger print to others with your surname, you can determine if they are related. We hope to test as many Radke/Radtkes as possible. We would especially like to have one genetic representative from each family or branch. To join our project or to see our test results, please go to our website: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Radke/index.aspx?fixed_columns=on
