The Minor DNA Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and dna testing. All variant spellings are welcome.

Project Goals:
To see the relationship with the different Minors/many spellings, if any exists. Or to help group the Minors together with DNA matches. The Minor's of Virginian are said to be one of the few surnames that began in American and sprang from the name Doodes, a Dutch Sea Captain.
By setting up a Family Reconstruction Project at Family Tree DNA, the Goins DNA Project Group is taking advantage of a substantial group discount. It also allows us access to the test results, so we can see whether each of the lines is related (or not related) to one another. At this time, participants may start with either the Y-DNA 12-marker test, which costs $99+ $2 shipping fee or the 25 marker tests which costs $169 plus $2 shipping or the full 37 marker panel which costs $219+ $2 shipping fee. If you start with 12 and upgrade to 25 markers later, it will incur an additional $90 fee. So by ordering the 25 marker test initially, you save $21. Upgrading from 25 to 37 markers costs $59.00more. If ordered initially a savings of about $10.00 is realized

Sometimes testing our own Y or mtDNA will not get us back to the fore-parent whose test we need. If you can't be tested for a known Minor line, you can help by donating money to help those who can be tested. Go here for further information
