I have started a DNA project, with Family Tree DNA, the pioneer and the world's largest DNA company in the new field of genetic genealogy.

The Uridge DNA Project is now available. I encourage male Uridges, and Euridges to take the 37-marker Y DNA test. To achieve maximum benefits we encourage 2-3 males from each family tree detailed on the Charts list to participate.

As a female, the Y-chromosome test is not applicable to me! So I invited one of my brothers to donate his DNA.

The DNA test helps to identify whether the different Uridge and Euridge lines are connected, even though I do not have the documental evidence to prove it. The Paternal DNA, passed from father to son, tests the Y-chromosome, which is only found in males and is useful in verifying common ancestry. The DNA test should be the very extensive 37-marker paternal test. A perfect match of 37 markers means that the two individuals matching shared a common ancestor in recent times.

It will also provide us with more information, like deep ancestral origins, matches with other individuals that share the same results, our recent ethnic origins, and FTDNATiP - the Time Predictor to the Most Recent Common Ancestor between the test takers.

The genetic test kit consists of a cheek scraper and collection tube. The test is a painless cheek scraping. The effect of using the scraper is about the same as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle toothbrush. A backup scraper & tube is included to ensure that they have good samples for their lab.

If you are interested in joining this project do contact me, and I will explain the technicalities, costs, and outcome.
