Pierces with ancestral connections in southern states are sought to join this DNA project. Has your Pierce genealogy research hit a brick wall? Has the paper trail found in courthouse basements lead to a dead end? If so, you may wish to take advantage of today's cutting edge DNA technology to jump start your research. The goals of the project will be to identify other Pierces who are related, validate existing traditional research, and break down brick walls in your Pierce family research. Participants must be male Pierces because the genetic data measured (from the Y chromosome) is passed along the male line from father to son. If you are a Pierce, but are female, you may wish to recruit a male Pierce relative-- perhaps a cousin, father, brother, or uncle to participate. The project is limited to Pierces from southern states. All variant spellings of the surname including Pearce, Peirce, Pearse, Pearse, Percy, Piercey, Pearcy and others may join.
