We need more participants very badly! The value of a project such as this increases expotentially with each new participant. If you are a CRAIN or CRANE male (or a variation such as CRAINE, CRAYNE, CREHAN), please join us. If you are a female with this genealogy background, please consider making a donation in any amount or sponsoring a male relative eligible for testing.

Using the markers from the male Y chromosome, which
pass virtually unchanged from father to son, several things can be determined. It is possible, for instance, to determine which lines of CRAIN's in the United States are related and possibly even link back to related lines in Europe. Additionally it may be possible to learn which Haplogroup or Haplotype your markers place you in and what part of the world your paternal Y ancestor originated. The area may or may not be very specific. But it is very interesting!

Sample cells are obtained by a painless swab inside your cheek, then placed in a provided vial with a preservative and mailed by regular mail to the company. Two samples are collected in case the second is needed. Everything is provided by FTDNA in the kit they send. They have staff to help interpret the scores. Results are usually back in 1 to 2 months.

I want to stress that your privacy is strictly maintained. Only your kit number or some other coded ID will appear in the results viewed by others. Living persons' names will not be divulged by any means, unless prior written permission has been obtained. This is for those who want their names to be known. You may certainly choose not to publicly reveal this information if that is your preference. The more extensive genealogy chart you can give the administrator, the more value this test will have for you and other participants as well as those of CRAIN/CRANE descent who cannot take the test, because their descent is not a straight line male father to son transmission.

The information gained will be of great value to us all. And I welcome those eligible to take part in this study.

ATTENTION:

All participants of the National Geographic Genographic DNA Project who are descended on a direct paternal or maternal line from CRAIN, CRANE, CRAINE,
or any variant are welcome to join the CRAIN/CRANE Geographical DNA Project! FTDNA can transfer your results and it will not be neccessary
to join as a new participant. You will need to furnish an ancestry chart as soon as possible. If you need help, it will be available.



The CRAIN Surname Y Chromosome DNA Study is not connected in any way to any other DNA testing company other than

Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX. An ancestral chart is required for participation in this group study in order to obtain the group reduced rate.
There are no fees other than the cost of your test.
