News Item: : Genetics & Genealogy - the Hildreth "DNA Project"
(Category: Misc)
Posted by admin
Genealogy by genetics is the greatest contribution to genealogy since the family tree. Our DNA Project includes the surnames Hildreth, Heldreth, Hildrith & Hyldreth in an effort to determine common ancestry. Join the DNA Project or contact our project administrator for additional information concerning our efforts ... Raymond C. "Bud" Hildreth budhildreth@cox.net
Our DNA Project includes the surnames Hildreth, Heldreth, Hildrith & Hyldreth and has the objectives to: (1.) To determine if Richard Hildreth b. 1605 in England, d. 1688 in Chelmsford, MA and Thomas Hildreth b. unk. in England, and d. 1657 in Southampton, LI, NY are related, and the time to their most recent common ancestor(MRCA). (2) Permit those with the surname Hildreth, or a variation thereof, to ascertain if they are descendants of either Richard or Thomas Hildreth, or if they descend from a Hildreth branch with a common ancestor (CA) perhaps further back in time.
Since a Surname Project in essence traces members of a family that share a common surname, and females (a) don't carry their father's Y-DNA, and (b) acquire a new surname by the way of marriage, in order to be relevant to the Surname Project, the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his paternal line (father's father's father's...). The test to be ordered is either the Y-DNA12, Y-DNA25 or Y-DNA37, and females should look for a brother or cousin with that surname to be tested. Females can also order a test for themselves, which will be the mtDNA or mtDNAPlus, but the results of this test cannot be tied to the Surname Project.
