The ultimate purpose of this page is to discuss our DNA results.

• An example of what this page will look like over time is the Hodges DNA Project Discussion Page
• Feel free to discuss this project on the Hefner Family Forum
• Click here to place an order for a DNA test at Family Tree DNA

Participating in a Surname DNA Project provides:

• A report on the participant's genetic DNA, which is very close (and sometimes identical) to the earliest known ancestor
• A classification of the participant's "deep" ancestry, which gives insight into the prehistoric origins of your surname ancestors
• A sense of camaraderie with all who participate in the Family Project, which is particularly strong for those who share a genetic ancestry
• Stimulation to family research and sharing of information
• A wider sense of identity and relationship, as we begin to realize how much we are a World Family.
• A chance to compare your genetic ancestry with those of the Surname and the Variant Spellings
• Locates the genetic matches that do not share your common surname
