Description
The objective of this group is to trace and find the connections between as many of the Hotchkiss lines as possible. For those lines which have not yet been linked, we would like to be able to determine, whether they are linked, and how much farther back we are likely to need to go to find the connection. We also believe this name to be of Norman origin. We are hoping to somehow find a way to trace this Norman origin. One such ancient Norman name which may be related is 'Hrod'. I am particularly interested in proving the relationship between several of the lines we have already traced, but ot yet linked.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
