About us
2017-05-20:
Welcome to the Poropat Surname Project. The project was created with one member (since 12 August we have 3 members), please spread the word among your Poropat family members. The more Y-DNA samples are collected, the more we will learn about our origins. Note that, while a surname itself may give us incomplete or misleading or, at best, only general information about the origin of a family, DNA-testing can give us concrete evidence for identifying and separating family lines. Y-chromosome DNA testing is especially helpful because the male Y-chromosome is handed down, father to son, unchanged through the generations, except for rare mutations which, in themselves, can be helpful indicators of branching.

A comprehensive onomastic research paper about the surname(s) is under development for publication.
