Surname DNA testing is the newest tool available to genealogists!
- Surname tests allow genealogists to verify their father's father's...father's paternal ancestry.
- Surname DNA information can be very powerful when combined with traditional paper trails.
The following Surnames are currently included in this project:
Walts, Waltz
The Walts-waltz DNA Project is open to all Walts-waltz families, of all spelling variations, and from all locations.
(If your surname is not included please contact the Project Administrator.)
This Walts-waltz Family Project was started to:
- Help researchers from common or related families work together to find their shared heritage.
- Identify how the participant's families are connected, both genetically and through paper trails.
- Identify and confirm genetic Lineages of ancestral families.
- Ultimately catalog pedigrees and genetic connections of all of the known project families.
Participating in a Surname DNA Project provides:
- The participant's genetic DNA, which is very close (and sometimes identical) to his earliest known ancestor.
- The participant's "deep" ancestry (Haplogroup), which identifies the 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 begin to realize how much we are a World Family.
- A chance to compare your genetic ancestry with those of your Surname and the spelling variations
- Your genetic matches who do not share your common surname
- The knowledge to understand our ancestors better - particularly where the records have been lost
