Crow DNA Project

 Using top level Y DNA testing on Crow/Crowe descendants, we are able to follow genetic variations along the male Y Chromosome, otherwise known as "SNP''s. (single nucleotide polymorphisms) These SNP's happen at random among men. This top level test allows us to recreate the modern family tree. My fascination with using Y DNA is partly because the paper genealogy is near minimal for any branch of the family prior to 1800. The other reason is the amount of incorrect information attached to thousands of trees on all the genealogical sites. It is just too easy to assume that James is the father of John, when hundreds of trees say so. This is where we apply Y DNA, by finding out exactly which Crows are related to who. For instance, in early Spartanburgh, there are three unrelated Crow families living side by side. The Gold, Red and Teal families identified by color in our Y DNA Project. Some of these families could have been the result of adoption or some other event that
