This project is being established to determine how the various Dobkins and variant surname lines worldwide are connected. Several lines have been identified and we are actively seeking European Dobkins to test. Initally the project was focused on Y-line DNA only, but more recently with the advent of the Family Finder test, we welcome all Dobkins descendants and will group them according to ancestral line. Very few, if any, group e-mails will be sent through the project. To keep current with genetic genealogy information, please subscribe to the blog, www.dna-explained.com by clicking on the small grey "follow" button on the right side of the page. Not everyone appreciates e-mails from project administrators, and taking a blog approach allows people who are interested to subscribe without bothering those who aren't. So, please, subscribe to keep current.
