Surnames: Herring Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ABC.2ACE/3784 Message Board Post: As part of the ongoing research into the HERRING family name, a DNA study is being carried out to help support (or disprove) the current paper genealogies and to help connect with others of the same surname world-wide. Only DNA from the Y-chromosome will be tested and as such, only males who are directly descended (or believed to be descended) from the HERRING family name should apply. This also includes spelling variants of the surname such as Herren, Hearing, Harring, Herrin, etc. If you are a female researcher, you can participate indirectly if you have a brother, father, paternal uncle, or male cousin with the HERRING or variant surname who is willing to submit a DNA sample. Others may participate by sharing the cost of the HERRING surname DNA testing. Because we are acting as a Surname Project, we qualify for discounted testing rates. The details of the HERRING Surname DNA Project can be found at http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=M51728&special=true PLEASE HELP! JOIN TODAY!
