LONG Surname DNA Project

The Long Surname DNA Project

Including Longe, Lang and Other Variations

Eligibility & How-to-Join Information

ELIGIBILITY: You are eligible to participate in the Long Surname DNA Project if you meet either one of the following two criteria:

(1) You are a male, and, any one or more of your direct paternal line ancestors' surname (last name) was Long, Longe, O'Long, Lang or DeLong, (or variant), and you are willing to purchase a DNA test kit from FamilyTreeDNA, or already have.

Or,

(2) You are a female, and, you have a male relative whose surname (last name) is Long, Longe, O'Long, Lang or DeLong, and the relative is willing to be Y-DNA tested by FamilyTreeDNA, or already has.

HOW TO JOIN: To join the LONG Surname DNA Project, go to the LONG page at FamilyTreeDNA at: Click here and order a Y-DNA test kit. When ordering a test kit from this web site, the price includes a group rate discount. Upon ordering the test kit you will be assigned a kit number and will then become a member of the Long Surname DNA Project.

If you do not plan to do a Y-Chromosome DNA test, your test will not contribute toward the objectives of the Long Surname DNA Project. Those doing mtDNA tests or automosomal DNA tests will not benefit from participation in this project. If you are considering joining the Long Surname DNA Project you are encouraged to contact the administrator before joining.

If you've already purchased a Y-DNA test kit from FamilyTree DNA, but are not participant in the Long Surname DNA Project, you can join at no additional cost. It is important that you do so, because some of our participants have their FTDNA profile set such that they are only matched against project members.

If you've already tested with another company, (such as Ancestry, Trace Genetics, Roots for Real, Relative Genetics, Oxford Ancestors, GeoGene, Gene Tree, DNAPrint Genomics, DNAHeritage, African Ancestry, etc) you should upload your results to the YSearch database. Due to quality assurance concerns, I cannot add you to the Long Surname DNA Project based on DNA test results from a company other than Family Tree DNA unless you purchase a conversion kit. Check with the Administrator to see if there is any special promo is in effect for conversion. See Promo

If you've already been tested as part of the National Genographic Project, see Paragraph #8 at: https://www.familytreedna.com/genographic-project.aspx

If you have any questions send an email to the Administrator.
