Dell Ariola and Rochelle Cochran have just begun a BOONE-DNA Testing Project that
will be conducted from 1 July 2001 until 1 August 2001, and they are looking for
participants with the surname of Boone and all variant spellings. The following
is their announcement of the project:
Boone-DNA (Surname) Testing Participants Wanted
Want to know which line of Boon/Boone/Bohun/LaBoon and all
variant spellings you descend from?
A new Web site has been setup to inform Boon/Boone/Bohun/LaBoon
and all variant spellings, of a Y-chromosome DNA testing project that will
be conducted between 1 July 2001 and 1 August 2001.
The purpose of this project is to establish and separate the
many different lines of that surname in the United States, Canada, England,
Germany, France, Holland, The Netherlands and elsewhere, and we need participants
from all countries. The use of DNA is the newest and most accurate tool
available for genealogy.
Only males have the Y-chromosome and we need participants
with the SURNAME of Boon/Boone/Bohun/LaBoon and the variant spellings. The
DNA samples will be obtained by swabbing the inside of the cheek and will
NOT be used for any other purpose than to test the Y-chromosome for this
project.
