Family Tree DNA

Our surname project is registered at Family Tree DNA* . Most of your questions concerning DNA testing for genealogical purposes can be answered at that site. If not, please contact us.

Click this button to Join the Project and purchase your DNA test.

You will be asked which test you want to take. We recommend as many markers as you can afford. The 12 marker test is only valid for disproving relatedness. Matches at only 12 markers say very little about whether two people are related.

Cost

12 marker test: $99
25 marker test: $124
37 marker test: $149
67 marker test: $248

Note: These are reduced group rate prices.

*Disclaimer

We have no financial interest in this project nor do we have any association with Family Tree DNA Company beyond using them as our testing lab. We are only interested, like others in this group, in furthering our genealogical research.

More Information on DNA Surname Testing

You can get more information on the use of DNA in genealogy from FamilyTreeDNA's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). If you're concerned about privacy, FamilyTreeDNA has a FAQ for that, too. If you still have questions, please email the Project Administrator.

Other Ways You Can Participate in the Study

Women (and men whose surname is not Norman) cannot provide DNA for the study; however, there are many other ways they can help. Here are some things you can do:

  1. Find Eligible Norman Males to join the NORMAN DNA Study. If you can't give DNA, perhaps you can find an eligible male relative who can test in your place. You may have to go back two or three generations to a grandfather or great-grandfather's brother's sons and trace the line down to present day.
  2. Help Research the DNA Family Lines. Each of the family lines has to be researched to find the connecting ancestors. Members of the donor's family line can provide information and help in that research.
  3. Donate money to defray the costs to those who can't afford to join.

To help, or to donate money, email The Norman DNA Project.
