CLEMENT, CLEMENTS, CLEMMONS, CLEMONS, CLEMENS Y-DNA TEST PROJECT
Group Administrator: Kaye Lanier lkcopelanier@hotmail.com
Memo: To all persons researching any of the above surnames or any spelling variation of these surnames. If you are really serious about wanting to find your ancestral family and not have to “guess” whether you have found your true ancestry or not, why not try the our Y-DNA Test. A good paper trail of evidence is really helpful in determining your family history, but it still doesn’t give you the absolute satisfaction of knowing “for sure” if you are correct. A Y-DNA Test can give you that absolute truth for which you are searching.
Our Clement Clements Clemmons y-DNA Project began in 2003 and we now have 121 members who have ordered test kits. Of these, 110 have presently been returned for analysis. From these results we have identified 19 different family lines and have 20 members who are still seeking a match to their DNA. In case you are not familiar with what the Y-DNA Test involves, here are some facts that might help you.
A genealogical DNA test examines a person's DNA for genetic genealogy purposes. The test results are meant to have no informative medical value and do not determine specific genetic diseases or disorders. They are intended only to give genealogical information.
The general procedure for taking a genealogical DNA test involves ordering a DNA Test Kit and taking a painless cheek-scraping at home, then mailing the sample to a genetic genealogy laboratory for testing.
A man's paternal ancestry can be traced using the Y-DNA Test. This is useful because the Y chromosome passes from father to son. Women who wish to determine their paternal ancestry can ask their father, brother, paternal uncle, paternal grandfather, or a cousin who shares the same paternal lineage to take a test for them.
Have you ever gone to the family histories on the internet and found your ancestor, but also found that researchers differed as to “who” was the father of your ancestor and also to which Family Line he belonged? To find out for sure, you can order a Test Kit and then wait for the results. You can go to the Clement Clements Clemmons Public Family Tree Y-DNA website and read about some of the results so far. You can also go to the end of the webpage and view a chart in color showing each of the 19 groups and who is listed as the earliest known ancestor for each participant. Please read it to see if you can find the family group to which you think you may belong. The address for the public website is http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ClementsClemmonsDNA/
The cost for each test is listed below. With the price of gas so high, this might be the cheapest research “trip” you will take this summer.
Y-DNA12 (12 marker test for $99)
Y-DNA25 (25 marker test for $148)
Y-DNA37 (37 marker test for $189)
The 12 marker test is best at ruling out relatedness with another participant. The 25 and 37 marker tests are more refined. Whichever you choose now can always be upgraded later for an additional fee as shown below:
Y-DNA12-25 for $49
Y-DNA12to37 for $99
Y-DNA25to37 for $49
Y-DNA25to59 for $149
