To any Eggner, Egner or know of someone interested the Egner Surname, the Egner list is looking for anyone seriously interested in participating in a DNA project. The costs would probably be $150-$250 for each person tested. It depends on which test is chosen (the larger the marker number the more costly but the further back in time you are testing for relationship). The y-DNA testing I believe would be for males with the EGNER, EGNOR, AGNER, AGNOR name. We would need to try to prove connections to Mathias Egner or Johannes Aegender. Those descendants of later immigrants could also participate, trying to see if they are connected with one another. There is a test for women descendants, but not sure how that works (not sure if the mother of the person tested would have to be a Egner/Agner). We would need to get as many participants as possible....even those you may have contact with outside this list. I don't think we would need members of the same immediate family however. We have a relatively small family and I fear between that and the costs, we may not be able get enough participants. Please let me know if you have a serious interest in participating and from which immigrant you believe to be descended. Also let me know if you have anyone else who might be interested. --(EGNER) list host Celia :o) Please respond to the Mailto:EGNER-L@rootsweb.com if your interested.
