We use many tools in the pursuit of our ancestors. Among them are
birth and death certificates,
titles, microfilm, books, copies, software, and even professional researchers.
Plus if you're serious, you could add travel, food, and motel stays. The
expenses can add up. But now, by using another tool - DNA testing - in a few
weeks time, you may be able to learn which line you belong to, confirm your
family line, or even discover you've been tracing the wrong line, for the price
of a weekend research road trip.
Below is a list of the Y-DNA tests the
Davenport DNA Project supports. Which test to order depends on
what you want to accomplish. Generally, the 37 marker test
is recommended. A test with fewer markers can always be upgraded
at a later date, using the same sample.
Specimen collection kits,
which involve a painless swabbing of inside
the cheek to collect DNA cells, will be sent
to participants directly from the lab. Your
payment can be made by credit card or PayPal at the
time the kit is ordered or may be remitted
to the lab with the completed kit.

WHICH TEST TO ORDER |
|
12 Marker |
|
The 12
marker test is good for eliminating
potential family lines. For example,
there may have been a name change in
your line and you believe you are a
Newberry Davenport instead of a
Smith. The first 12 markers could
show that you do not match the
Newberry Davenports. The 12 marker
test is not very good at verifying a
connection. |
|
25
MARKER |
|
The 25
marker test is a good starting
point. It can give you a pretty good
idea whether you are or are not
related to another Davenport line.
However, some Haplotypes (patterns)
are more common than others, so you
may receive some "false matches". |
|
37 Marker - Recommended |
|
The 37
marker test can help place you into
an existing tested Davenport line,
and possibly even into a specific
branch. If you are a Davenport with
uncertain ancestry, then this would
be the place to start.
|
|
67 Marker |
|
If you
already believe you know which
Davenport line you belong to then
the 67 marker test can not only help
verify it, but it may also narrow
your search down to a specific
branch.
