Join the Autosomal Project

  Requirements:

  • You must manage the DNA of a VN descendant. That’s it!
*DNA kits purchased through Ancestry, MyHeritage, 23 and Me, and Living DNA are autosomal tests.  The Family Finder test on FamilyTreeDNA is also autosomal.

We’re seeking:

Family coordinators

  • To be a coordinator you must be the manager of the DNA kit of a VN descendant
  • You must be able to navigate through those DNA matches to locate other VN descendants (you don’t have to share their information, only the first known shared VN ancestor. For example, you would report that the DNA Match is a great-great-grandchild of “First Shared VN Ancestor”)
Van Norman Family Association (VNFA)

Test subjects
– To be a test subject you must be a descendant of a VN family
– You must also have completed an autosomal DNA test (DNA kits purchased through Ancestry, MyHeritage, 23 and Me, and Living DNA are autosomal tests. The Family Finder test on FamilyTreeDNA is also autosomal).

GEDMatch test kits (We need a minimum of 50 participants to start a GEDMatch Ancestor project!)
