Description
This is a project of the Clan Fergusson Society of North America aka CFSNA. It is open to anyone worldwide who has a Fergus(s)on ancestor and a suitable yDNA donor. The term Fergus(s)on refers to the surnames Fergus, Ferguson and Fergusson, variants of those names or any of the recognized sept names. A suitable yDNA donor is a male descended in the direct paternal line from their Fergus(s)on ancestor.
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.
