    1. DNA Tests

    3. I would urge all Bakers to get the Baker DNA Test. The cost is about $100 through the Group. It's simple to do. They mail you a test kit. You swab the inside of your cheek, put the swab inside the bottle, mail it back, and wait for the results. A male named Baker must take the test. A group of 300 Baker researchers are trying to find who connects to whom, thus allowing the sharing of family information. We welcome any Baker's world wide to join us. Please join us at the Baker Ancestors group. Surnames in Project: Baker, Bakker, Beaker, Boecher, Le Baker Requirements: Since a Surname Project in essence traces members of a family that share a common surname, and females (a) don't carry their father's Y-DNA, and (b) acquire a new surname by the way of marriage, in order to be relevant to the Surname Project, the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his paternal line (father's father's father's...). The test to be ordered is either the Y-DNA12, Y-DNA25 or Y-DNA37, and females should look for a brother or cousin with that surname to be tested. Females can also order a test for themselves, which will be the mtDNA or mtDNAPlus, but the results of this test cannot be tied to the Surname Project. For more information: http://www.bakerdna.net/ Note: I have no financial interest in this project. I'm just a Baker who has taken the test and would like to see Bakers from all lines take it. My Test proved a connection that I had been trying to prove with documents for over 40 years. Jim . . . James R. Baker, Jr. Free Genealogy Databases http://www.jrbakerjr.com .
