I believe the DNA project will allow me to connect with other HART surname groups. I chose Family Tree DNA as the testing company because of the great job that they do. Rates are lower for group members than non-group members. My primary objective is to locate HART groups that have documented their ancestry back to Deacon Stephen Hart of Essex, England. I will pay for the test for the first five participants(male) who have documentated their ancestry to Deacon Stephen Hart. I will only pay for one male HART participant from each HART group. The purpose of this is to build a modal DNA haplotype of Deacon Stephen Hart. With this modal haplotype we can identify others who are descendants of Deacon Stephen Hart and make it easier to connect various groups who are related. All HART research groups are welcome to join my project. You may obtain information on DNA at the Family Tree DNA website http://w! > ww.familytreedna.com .This type of DNA testing has nothing to do with forensic testing or medical information testing. When you get to the Family Tree DNA site click on privacy at the top of the page. That will take you to legal issues, privacy and confidentiality statement. Enter HART in the surname search and it will take you to a results page. Click on HART and you will go to Join the Hart Surname Project. If you have documented ancestry to Deacon Stephen Hart contact me and I will order the test for you and pay for it. My web site is at: http://www.worldfamilies.net . Type in HART and on the following page scroll down to HART DNA Project Websites. If you have any questions contact me at: louhart@comcast.com.
