The MISNER, MISENER, etc. Surname DNA Project (including the many variants listed above) was organized on 5 July 2004. Having read many success stories in matches with DNA for genealogical purposes, we decided that it is time to try to advance our research in the many cases where there are no written documents to help to prove ancestry.

The success of the Project will depend on the number of male participants who join the testing group, as well the documentation of the research connected with each line regarding dates and locations of birth, death, marriage, etc. Please contact and encourage males of the above surnames to participate in the Project to help to ensure its success.

The testing will be for the male Y-chromosome that is passed, only, from father to son through the generations. Therefore, the testing requires a male with one of the above mentioned surnames or possible other variant. If you are a female with one of the surnames (etc.) or a female researcher of the surname, you may have a husband, uncle, brother, male cousin, etc. willing to volunteer in your place.

We have chosen Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX as our testing company. The testing laboratory will be analyzing the Y-chormosome test of your choice (12, 25, 37, or 67 markers) or other tests of your choosing available from the company. If the markers of two or more male individuals match, it will indicate they descend from a common male ancestor back in time. It will not identify the specific ancestor, but through the sharing of family information with other participants, that ancestor could be found. It is our opinion that the 25, 37, or 67 marker tests are much better at reporting the kind of data that one may need to determine closeness of relationship, as the 12 marker test can find many matches that are not close in generations to most research. If you choose to begin with the 12 marker, you can upgrade to another test at a later date, if desired.

It is hoped that you will publically share what you know of your family history, your family lineage back to your earliest known ancestor, and the vital data/information that you know for each ancestor, as this is the reason for setting up the surname project.



DISCLAIMER, CONDITIONS AND AGREEMENT

The project organizer has no commercial affiliation with any profit making organization and receives no compensation for services or expenses involved with the project. At present, the webpages involved with this project is for information, lineages, and posting DNA results of participants.

Although as a FTDNA surname participant you receive special pricing for your test, that by no means suggests a business partnership or other relationship between the Project and the Laboratory. All funds are payable only and directly to the Laboratory. The project organizer will not be the recipient nor steward of any DNA samples and has no responsibility for their care, handling or return to participant, nor duty to act on behalf of participant in mediation of any dispute between the Participant and the Laboratory.

While a match between two participants may indicate that they share a common male ancestor, it will not identify the specific ancestor and there is no guarantee that every participant will match another participant.

By participation in the project, the participant agrees to all conditions of the Project.
