Lamont/Young DNA
Hello my name is George Young. I think I connect to the Lamonts through John Lamont & Mary Young. John was among those in the masacre of 1646. Mary escaped to Irleand with four children who all took new names. Andrew Young's descedants came to Augusta CO, VA.
I would like to find other male Lamont's to join in a DNAstudy to help prove my theory.
The Y chromosome is passed through the generations unchanged from father to son. You and/or other males within your family with the surname Lamont can benefit greatly from participation in this project.
LADIES, encourage male Lamont's in your family to join this project and your family is involved and will benefit from the genealogical information and relationships discovered. Family Tree DNA is offering the test to us at a group rate discount.
1. You identify the genetic profile of your male family line.
2. You may identify your roots when traditional documentary genealogical research methods have failed.
3. Your results may identify information offering clues of where to focus and pursue additional traditional documentary genealogical research.
4. You may be able to verify once and for all that your traditional documentary genealogical work is accurate and scientifically verified.
5. You may get clues or help others get clues as to the village of origin in Europe of their immigrant ancestor.
6. If you live in Europe with a similar surname to one of our current participants you may find descendants and cousins living in the USA you did not know you had.
7. Your DNA will be preserved for the future at no additional cost. Thus, you leave something for posterity for use by future members of your family. This is especially important for older members of a family, particularly if that older person is the last surviving male member of the family. Note: if that elderly person cannot afford the test another family member can sponsor and pay for the test.
8. You may identify new genetic cousins you did not know you had.
9. You may increase awareness of family medical histories that can benefit you and your descendants.
10. You will be joining the ranks of the select few early Genetics and Genealogy Pioneers and will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are an early participant in a state-of-the-art project which is contributing to the world knowledge base for this new and exciting field, genealogy by genetics.
This systematic, proven method of determining paternal relations can be very cost effective in proving genealogical relationships from the distant past and leapfrog you back to a wealth of substantiated data.
I encourage you and/or male YOUNGS in your family to participate in and benefit from this opportunity to learn more about our ancestors.
