Updated 14 September 2024 To help find family connections for the ELDERs of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things. 1) The surname of the person being tested. 2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line. 3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor. We welcome any male worldwide with the surname ELDER or variants to participate in our DNA project. If you are a female researcher with a close male relative still carrying the surname ELDER we encourage you to request their participation in the Y-DNA test.
