Description
The Perea/Pereira DNA Surname Project is asking that all individuals with the surname Perea, Pereira, Pereyra, and Perera that have roots in New Mexico, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain, take part in a study to help fill in the gaps that the paper trial has left behind.
Although this project is focusing on Pereas, Pereiras, Pereyras, and Perera from New Mexico, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain, it would be interesting to see how Pereas, Pereiras, Pereyras, and Perera from out side New Mexico, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal and Spain match as well.
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.
