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 STINNETT 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 was chosen in 2005 to perform the tests for the Stinnett 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 Stinnett 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 Stinnett DNA Genealogy Project seeks to discover how many different lines of Stinnetts 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, the Sizemore 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 STINNETT, STINET, STINNETTE, STENNETT lines is related (or not related) to one another.

Organization News
Our project has already made some very interesting discoveries. One participant has the I1c haplogroup which is extremely rare. Another line has been found to match at 37 markers, a number of Calverts believed to descend from the "Lord Calvert" line. Added to the fact that these Stinnetts' ancestors had a presence in Maryland since the mid 1600's and in Calvert county very early on, this is an intriguing piece of information.
ATTENTION:
All participants of the National Geographic Genographic DNA Project who are descended on a direct paternal or maternal line from Stinnett, Stennette, Stenet or any variant are welcome to join the Stinnett Geographical DNA Project! Since some of our Y haplogroup markers are quite rare, consideration will be given to the possibility of including males with matching Y haplogroup markers irregardless of surname.
Donations
As we move well into the second year of this project, we really need more participants to get a better idea about the several different Stinnett lines. The information obtained by these tests is very important to all Stinnett 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. In the past our project has benefited from the generosity of several family members and the Calvert DNA Project, which upgraded one of our participants. 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 STINNETT genealogy. You can honor a family member by donating in their memory. Click Here to make a contribution to the Stinnett DNA Project. You may "earmark" your donation for a specific participant.

The STINNETT 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.
