Description
Voorhees spellings preceded by Van are part of this surname project.
The purpose of this project is to relate all family branches, to verify existing documentation and research, and to build a Voorhees DNA database. We also hope to find and connect branches of the family that may have been lost.Our immigrant ancestor was Steven Coerte Van Voorhees who arrived in Brooklyn from the Netherlands in 1660.
This project is open to all male Voorhees, all spellings. Hopefully, female descendants can find a Voorhees father, brother, or cousin who can act as a DNA donor for their line.
Participants are asked to make sure that the project administrator or the VanVoorhees Association has genealogy information on their line.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
