A Cooper Surname DNA Project is available to anyone looking for a way to locate Cooper relatives and their relationship to other Cooper-lines. It requires a male with the Cooper surname. The purpose is to find people with the Cooper surname who share a common ancestor, as well as identifying the different lines and possible points of origin. I have personally used DNA analysis to substantiate research, further my research efforts, give me direction in my research, and to prove or disprove research I have completed. I have found it to be an invaluable research tool. By no means does it supplant traditional genealogy research, but it does supplement and give an added tool in genealogical research. If any one on is interested in becoming a part of this Project, please contact me at the following email address. H. Ben Cooper Group Administrator Cooper Surname DNA Project [email protected]

This may sound like a stupid question, but why is it that these projects only want male DNA? I am a Cooper so my DNA is just as good! Kelly ----- Original Message ----- From: "H.

Kelly, your question is not stupid, it is a very apropos question. The DNA test is on the Y-Chromosome which is unique to the male and passed from father to son generation after generation. Your Cooper brothers, father, uncles, etc can become participants. They all should have the same Y-Chromosome print. Would welcome your Cooper-line's participation in the Cooper Surname Project. Would you like further information? H.

Is there a way to get the DNA report for a Daniel C Cooper? My great grandmother was Laura Cooper and her father was Daniel C Cooper and his father was John Cooper. Laura was from Greene Co.,Tn. I have no clue as to the lines from her brothers. Any help would be appreciated. ______________________ Janice W.
