Y-DNA Project
Are there any male Dean descendants of David Dean (1763-1838) who would be willing to aid the search by taking a DNA test? Results may not tell us exactly who our ancestor David Dean's parents were but they may lead us to a geographical area or show a connection to an earlier group of Deans that could aid in finding David's origins. As the database grows so does the possibility of matching our family with other related Dean families with the same origin. This would be a big help!
Larry Dean (no known relation to our line) is coordinating the DEAN Family Y-DNA database. His "Dean Surname Y-DNA Project – results" page will give further information: .
If you are interested in ordering a Y-DNA test kit to be used by a male surnamed DEAN, contact Larry Dean (see site above). If ordered through a surname project, Y-DNA test kits cost $99 for a 12-marker test, $124 for a 25-marker test, $149 for a 37-marker test or $248 for a 67-marker test plus a small shipping fee. As a default, Larry recommends a 37-marker YDNA test.
