DESCRIPTION OF THE AILSTOCK (All Spelling Variations)& Hailstock, Railstock DNA STUDY

A group of AILSTOCK (All Spelling Variations) & Hailstock, Railstock family researchers is collaborating on this DNA study with four objectives:

• First, we aim to determine if Virginia (USA), Canada, Barbados families were related;

• Second, we aim to verify that other early AILSTOCK (All Spelling Variations)& Hailstock, Railstock in the United States believed to be related to any of the five colonial families are in fact related;

• Third, we aim to assist Ailstock (All Spelling Variations)& Hailstock, Railstock researchers who have been unable to trace their families back to the colonial era to establish to which, if any, of the early families they relate.

• Fourth, we aim to have AILSTOCK (All Spelling Variations) & Hailstock, Railstock participate whose families lived in other parts of the United States and the world, to establish the migration patterns of the Virginia AILSTOCK (all variations) families and to identify their European origins. We especially seek the participation of any AILSTOCK, AYLESTOCK, ALESTOCK, AYLSTOCK, ALESTOCK, (or other variation) & Hailstock, Railstock descendants from other countries to participate. We are also interested in seeing if others who go by the surname of HAILSTOCK and RAILSTOCK may be related, especially those who lived nearby in Virginia, USA

Members should also (but not required) join the AILSTOCK Mailing List which is a free, online genealogy list that enables communication between the other members of the study as well as general genealogy. However, arrangements will be made by administration to keep those who do not have computers updated as updates come in. You do not have to be connected to the intranet in order to be a member of the DNA study. Any privacy issues can be worked out if you wish and if you wish, please contact Cathy Cranford at pastseeker@nc.rr.com.

SURNAMES OF THE AILSTOCK DNA STUDY

AILSTOCK, ALESTOCK, AYLSTOCK, AYLESTOCK, AILSTOCK, & Hailstock, Railstock and other spelling variations thereof.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE AILSTOCK (all spellings)& Hailstock, Railstock DNA STUDY

Since a Surname Project in essence traces members of a family that share a common surname, and females (a) don't carry their father's Y-DNA, and (b) acquire a new surname by the way of marriage, in order to be relevant to the Surname Project, the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his paternal line (father's father's father's...). The test to be ordered is either the Y-DNA12, Y-DNA25, Y-DNA37 or Y-67, and females should look for a brother or cousin with that surname to be tested. Females can also order a test for themselves, which will be the mtDNA or mtDNAPlus, but the results of this test cannot be tied to the Surname Project. If you are female, but wish to be a part of this study, you will need to find the nearest member of your family who is a male Ailstock or spelling variation. A female can pay for the study, and have the male submit the DNA sample, with the female being the contact person. Only males can be the donors, however a female can be the contact person for that male. Example: Cathy Cranford is the contact person for the dna that her brother submitted for the Cranford DNA study. She paid for the test, the brother swabbed his cheek, gave the sample to Cathy, who sent the test back, and hence became the contact person. She will be the one one who is contacted when there is a match. She is considered the contact person, the brother is a donor. He chose not to be contacted, he does not do family research, and so he was listed "private" for his name as the donor, with Cathy Cranford's name and email address, as the contact person.

TEST COSTS FOR THE AILSTOCK (All Spelling Variations) DNA STUDY

There are three tests that can be ordered. They are all the same test, but the cost changes with the higher marker listing. The test can be upgraded at any time by sending in additional monies with no need to take the test again. The test results are kept at the FTDNA lab and if wishes to upgrade from a 12 marker test to a 25 or 35 marker, all one needs to do is send in the additional money and request to be upgraded. To do that, click the link below. It is recommended that one take the 25 marker, as the likelihood of matching to other surnames is high and the 25 marker rules this out much better than the 12 marker test. One can however, order the 12 marker test, send in their dna sample, and upgrade later, at any time, to a higher marker test, without the need to send in another sample
