This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Minor/Miner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SeB.2ACE/746 Message Board Post: The Minor/Miner yDNA Project is just starting up. If you or your cousins are male and carry the Minor/Miner last name--or should but don't due to past parental divorce or an adoption, I hope that you will participate in one of these studies. We personally believe this will be the only way we can figure out where our Minor/Miner ancestors came from, and how the various Minor/Miner family groups are interrelated. More information about the studies can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/minordnaproject/index.htm Please contact me Jim Carpenter by clicking on the email icon on each home page if you have questions about these studies.
