The FRAME DNA PROJECT is open to all of these listed families in all of their surname variations and from all locations.
If your surname is not included and you believe it should be, please contact the Project Administrator
The FRAME DNA PROJECT was established to:
- Help researchers from related families work together to find their shared heritage.
- Identify whether or not all Frame families descend from a single ancient progenitor.
- Establish whether or not those with the variant surnames that appear to share an ancient history, are in fact genetic cousins.
- Confirm kinship where it is suspected and documentation is unavailable.
- Help to validate or preclude suspect lines. This will become more effective as more men participate in the Project.
Participating in the FRAME DNA PROJECT provides:
- Our Y-DNA profile (haplotype) which is very close and sometimes identical to our earliest known direct paternal line ancestor.
- Our "deep" ancestry (haplogroup), which identifies our paternal ancestor's prehistoric origins.
- A sense of camaraderie, which is particularly strong for those who share a genetic ancestry.
- Stimulation to family research and renewed sharing of information.
- A wider sense of identity and relationship as we are given the opportunity to connect with our previously unknown cousins.
- A chance to compare our known ancestry with new DNA cousins of the same surname, and also those with surname variants.
- Our genetic matches with those who do not share our common surname.
- A clearer understanding of our ancestry - both recent and ancient - particularly where records have been lost.

Although test discounts are offered to FRAME DNA PROJECT members by FAMILY TREE DNA , it does not suggest a business partnership or any other relationship between the FRAME DNA PROJECT and FAMILY TREE DNA. All fees are payably only and directly to FAMILY TREE DNA. The FRAME DNA PROJECT is a non-profit project and administrators are volunteers dedicated to advancing FRAME family research in general. The FRAME DNA PROJECT will not in any way have control of DNA samples, nor will it have the responsibility for their care, handling or return to our project participants. The FRAME DNA PROJECT does not have a duty to act on behalf of a project participant in mediation of any disputes arising between a project participant and FAMILY TREE DNA. A match between project participants may suggest they share a common ancestor, however it will not identify the specific ancestor. There is no guarantee that every participant will match anyone in the FRAME DNA PROJECT or any other public database. By participating in the FRAME DNA PROJECT, the participant agrees to all conditions of the Project.
