- HINSHAW DNA Surname Project
Our Project goal is to share information and bind as many families together that share the HINSHAW surname and any of its variations. * Participating in this project gives you a chance to compare your genetic ancestry with those of your Surname and the spelling variations. * The knowledge to understand our ancestors better by sharing information with each other and in particular where the county records have been lost. * A sense of camaraderie among the members of a group. * The participant's Haplogroup, which identifies the paternal ancestor's prehistoric origins. * Identify others who may or may not be related to you. The ones that are not related to you may be just as important as those who are. * Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors. * Solve brick walls in your research. * Determine a new county and state or country for further research. * Validate existing research!A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Surnames are passed down from father to son, like the Y-chromosome, and the Y-DNA test is for males only. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
