Stamper DNA Genealogy Project

Welcome graphic

Project Background:

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 STAMPER lines 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 and/or maternal mtDNA ancestor originated. The area may or may not be very specific. But it is very interesting!

Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX is the DNA testing company chosen to perform the tests for the Stamper Surname DNA Project. At one time, it was felt that a 12 marker test was a good place to begin a project of this sort. It was then believed, an exact match of all 12 markers from any two tested individuals would indicate a highly likely possibility that they descend from a common ancestor in a genealogically useful timeframe. This could provide valuable information to family researchers trying to determine whether different Stamper lines are related. We now know that the common ancestor could be many generations back. Hundreds of years, in fact. So if you want to learn just how recently your ancestor fits in, you may want to start with the 25, 37 or 67 marker test, also discounted for test participants and at an additional savings if ordered initially.

Our Mission

The Stamper DNA Genealogy Project seeks to discover how many different lines of Stampers are in the United States and where in Europe they originated. We will use the latest in DNA techniques to acomplish our goals.

Pricing

By setting up a Family Reconstruction Project at Family Tree DNA, theStamper DNA Project Group is taking advantage of a substantial group discount. It also allows us access to the test results, so we can see whether each of the Stamper lines is related (or not related) to one another.

Organization News

The Stamper DNA Project now has new family volunteer administrators; Jesse Stamper and co-administrator; Janet Crain.

ATTENTION:

All participants of the National Geographic Genographic DNA Project who are descended on a direct paternal or maternal line from Stamper or any variant are welcome to join the Stamper DNA Project!

Donations

As we are just getting started, we really need more participants to get a better idea about the several different Stamper lines. The information obtained by these tests is very important to all Stamper descendants. If you can donate any amount, we urge you to do so. In most cases the entire cost of the test is borne by the participant. But we need a procedure in place to test important lines not previously tested that might otherwise not be done. There is now a place to donate at the Family Tree DNA site. You can donate any amount by credit card, PayPal or check and it will be there for future test participants that the administrators feel are important to learn more about Stamper genealogy. You can honor a family member by donating in their memory. Click Here to make a contribution to the Stamper DNA Project. You may "earmark" your donation for a specific participant.

The Stamper Genealogy DNA Project is not connected in any way to any other DNA testing company other than Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX. Neither does this project nor do the administrators receive any financial incentives for using this company. 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.
