Announcing the Claypoole/Claypool Surname Y-DNA Project
Announcing the Claypoole/Claypool/Claypole Surname(s) Y-DNA Project: DNA testing is the newest tool available to genealogists!
Surname tests allow genealogists to verify their father's father's (and soon) paternal ancestry. Surname DNA information can be very powerful when combined with traditional family history paper trails.
This Claypoole Surname Y-DNA Project was started to:
1. Help researchers from common or related Claypoole families work together to find their shared heritage.
2. Identify how the participant's families are connected, both genetically and through paper trails.
3. Identify and confirm genetic lineages of ancestral families.
4. Ultimately, catalog pedigrees and genetic connections of all of the known project families, while maintaining personal confidentiality and individual privacy.
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son as is the Y-chromosome, this project is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA so the tested individual must be a male. All natural born (not adopted) males bearing the Claypoole, Claypool or Claypole surname (and any other recognised spelling variation) from all locations in the USA and worldwide are invited to participate in the Claypoole Surname Project.
