Laux-Loux-Lauck-Laucks-Louck-Loucks-Louks family members to participate in the Family Tree DNA project.
more importantly, help out your family palatine group. Your "cousins" Vernon, Orie, Ed, Terry & others are asking you to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We suggest the YDNA37 or the YDNA67 test. While the YDNA37 is good, the YDNA67 gives a better fix on when the common ancestor lived. *Discount Prices are listed after you sign up to participate.
before the 2015 Int'l Family Reunion.
1. To participate, you first need to join the Palatine Project.
(This is the Project that analyzes the DNA of those who descend along the DIRECT
LINE from the Palatine who left Germany during the early 18th century, ESPECIALLY DURING THE PERIOD 1708-1710. Many were assigned so-called Hunter List numbers when they arrived in New York State. If you currently live in Germany and believe an ancestor was a part of the exodus, then you are a great candiate for the project, too.)
