Any male with the surname Lampert or a variation of that is eligible to participate in this DNA project. Women can participate by finding a male of the surname Lampert, such as a father, brother, cousin,etc to test. A DNA test may match the participants of other Lampert lines. It may match specific Lampert lines cited at www.Lamperts.com. The goal is to accumulate a large Lampert DNA database with participants from many major Lampert lines. It is recommended to have at least a Y 37 marker test, as it may allow one to more easily distinguish different branches of major families.
