With the technology continuing to improve, and the costs coming down greatly over the past few years, I have started to use DNA testing in my genealogy research. My goal is to verify my paper trail lines, as well as to try to discover ancestors even further back in time. If you believe we may be related and have already taken a DNA test, or are interested in getting tested, please contact me as I would be very interested in comparing results.
Here is a list of the lines for which I currently have Y-DNA test results:
- Delainey/Delaney Y-DNA Results
- Hill Y-DNA Results
- Lewark/Luark/Ruark/Rheuark Y-DNA Results
- Stone Y-DNA Results
- Wade Y-DNA Results
- Wright Y-DNA Results
In addition to these Y-DNA results, I have autosomal DNA test results (listed under my name of Dan Stone) at Ancestry DNA, Family Tree DNA and GEDmatch (please see the list below for all the GEDmatch kit numbers I manage). For a list of surnames and locations associated with my lines, or to see my ancestral pedigree, please see the Charts page. You may also want to take a look at my DNA Chromosome Map. If you discover we match on any of our lines, I would really appreciate hearing from you!
