Fundraising for tests

Genetic genealogy can be an expensive endeavor.  While I plan to pay for any tests I run, if you're willing to help, that would be so appreciated.  I'll try to keep a running tally here of which tests I'm running, and how much I've saved.  If you'd like to donate, you can do so by clicking on the "Donate" button to the right.  :)

So far, we've run an autosomal test on a KLASSEN descendant, and ordered the test for a PERRY descendant.  Next up is a LOEWEN descendant.




1)  an autosomal test on one of Grandpa Loewen's siblings (target date: mid July 2015)
1a)  an autosomal test on one of Dad's Fox cousins (target date: August 2015, cousin volunteered!)
2)  a YDNA test on a Klassen cousin
3)  an autosomal test on one or more of Susanna Falk & Johann Kroeker's descendants
4)  an autosomal test on one or more of Susanna Falk & Peter Klassen's descendants
5)  a YDNA test on a Perry cousin
6)  an autosomal test on one of Grandpa Loewen's Franz cousins
7)  an autosomal test on one of Grandma Loewen's Petkau cousins
8)  a YDNA test on one of Grandpa Loewen's brothers
9)  a YDNA test on Dad
10)  a YDNA test on a Petkau cousin

Our FRANZ ancestor (Elizabeth) came from a family of three sisters and one brother.  There were sons born to the brother in the 1910's and 1920's.  If we can find their descendants, then we will do a YDNA test on that line as well.  If we can't, then we'll have to depend on the autosomal test results, and try to test as many of the known FRANZ cousins as we can.
