Description
The FTDNA Jordan DNA Project uses Y DNA, BIG Y; Autosomal DNA and MtDNA testing to find matches between participants which enable them to achieve their goals in Genealogical research. Please note: This project is for the surname JORDAN surname family.
This is a surname project and NOT for participates from the country of Jordan!
Note: This DNA project is FTDNA company and is not associated in any form with a Facebook group listed as Jordan DNA. The Adms. for this project are volunteers.
This project was formed in 2002 by Jordan genealogists Janet Burks, Robert "Bob" Jordan and Norman Jordan. If you are a Jordan please consider FTDNA testing and joining the Jordan DNA project. People both male and female who have DNA tested with Jordan ancestors in their lineage are welcome to join including transfers from other DNA companies.
To participate in this FTDNA project DNA testers will be asked to change their Privacy and Sharing settings on their DNA kit. Under Preferences for the Administrator “Limited Access” and Under Privacy please set Your results to Sharing with the FTDNA database "Opt In To Sharing".
PLEASE NOTE: Most Distant Proven Ancestors listed on the Jordan Y-DNA chart are recorded by each kit tester not by Adms. This Jordan DNA project is not responsible for those lineages nor can we guarantee these ancestry lineages are documented by the genealogical standard.
Transfers from Ancestry.com, My Heritage and 23 and me (autosomal DNA) are welcome.
Thank you.

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.
