(We're looking specifically for participants from the British Isles, which is believed to be the source of our names and original ancestors.).
• CUSHMAN DNA Project 
  Designed to: 1. Encourage Cushman males to submit Y-DNA and genealogy information; 2. Organize the Y-DNA results and paper genealogies of living Cushmanmales, and variants of the surname; 3. Identify the DNA of Cushman ancestors and compile them into distinctgenetic lineages through DNA matches. 4. Help Cushman and related families work together to find their common heritage.

'D' Surname DNA Studies and Projects

• DAGLISH DNA Project 
  The main known branches of the Daglish family originate from County Durham and Northumberland in the United Kingdom, and most living Daglishes can trace their ancestors back to these English counties. Through the DNA project we hope to look at these different branches and compare for common ancestors.The surname directories show Daglish as a variant of Scottish names Dalglish or Dalgliesh - but so far it has been difficult to confirm this through standard family history research; we hope the DNA project might help to provide the answer.The DNA test works on the Y-chromosome which is passed down through the male line (in much the same way as surnames). The Y-chromosone is likely to remain unchanged for many generations, but occasionally the code will 'mutate' creating small differences, and this is also useful for family history. For testing we therefore need living male members of the Daglish family. There is another DNA test which follows the maternal line - but this is not directly relevant for our study.

To recruit Dorsey/Darsey/D'Arcy (etc) males from Ireland and England in an attempt to pinpoint origins of American Dorsey lines. (Australians too!).
• DOSS DNA Project 
  Several English and Germanic Doss families have emigrated to America in the past 400 years. The Doss DNA Project’s goals are to (1) determine the unique haplotypes of each Doss immigrant, and (2) identify those of each distinct English and Germanic family. This information, used in conjunction with research conducted by dozens of descendants, will enable us to forge a genetic link with our European kin, previously unattainable through research in historic documents, and help us to firmly establish our immigrant origins. Please visit our website to learn more.Variant spellings include: Dawes, Daws, Dors, Dorse, Doss, and Dosse.

• FORTINEUX Surname DNA Study 
  The FORTINEUX family lived in the Palatinate in the 17th century and descendants include persons living in North America today with the surnames FORTNEY, FORTNA, FURTNEY, and FORDNEY. In 1981, descendants of the FORTNEY and FORTNA families made contact and discovered their common heritage as descendants of Jonas Fortney (b Lambrecht, Germany, d 1702/09 probably Otterberg, Germany) and Sara Menton (d 1715 Otterberg, Germany). This initial contact between the families, the first in about 250 years, led to many international family reunions and the 1989 publication of "The Fortineux-Fortinet Family (Fortney, Fortna, Fordney, Furtney) in America."Unfortunately, not all families with the FORTNEY, FORTNA, FURTNEY, FORDNEY or similar names can be traced to Jonas FORTINEUX. The goal of the FORTINEUX Surname DNA Study is two-fold: 1. To discover the ancestors of Jonas FORTINEUX, including their geographic movements 2. To help people who believe they may be descended from Jonas FORTINEUX to strengthen weak genealogy paper trails.
