Hi Everyone, I am Elaine Via the Group Administrator of the Y-DNA Via Surname Project with the Family Tree DNA. We just started our project at the end of July 2005. Right now, we have 17 members at this time. We our looking for male members who have the Surname of Via, Viar, Viars, Vier, Viers and ANY other spellings. That would like to join our project. Here is the website address of our Y-DNA Via Surname Project, please check it out. http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ViaSurnameProject/ The DNA results of our members is on the bottom of the page. We use Kit #, for privacy. Kit # 41120 is my twin brother. It has their family lines on the website too. The more males who join, the more family lines we will have in our group to compare with each other. The number one question I got it is, How do you get my Y-DNA for the Via Surname Project? The test it self is very simple and painless, just the swabbing of the inside cheeks of the mouth. The swabbing picks up loose skin cells which has the DNA to be tested. Then you mail the test kit back to Family Tree DNA. It is as simple as that. If anyone has ANY questions about the Y-DNA Project, just ask, I will do my best to answer them. I truly hope that the females who are Via's, like me, will ask a male member of their family (brother, father, uncle or cousin) to represent their Via family line. My brother has joined for me, for our family line. Sincerely, Elaine =^..^=
