The W~D~M~R Family DNA Project is tracking Y-Chromosome DNA, which is only passed down from fathers to sons. If you are a male Wedemeyer (or similar spelling), then you are welcome to join the project.

Simply fill out the form at the bottom of the page or go to FTDNA's Wiedemeier Join Page. All information will be kept strictly private. We recommend the Y-DNA-12 test ($99) to place you within one of the major groups of Wedemeyers. If results are inconclusive, then an upgrade to 37-markers (an additional $99) may provide more information.

Please note that all of the cost of the test goes to the Family Tree DNA. Neither the W~D~M~R Family DNA Project nor the project administrators gets any form of payment when people order a DNA test.

As an alternative, you may also join the SMGF project. Participation is free, though there is a twelve month wait (or more) before your results are indirectly posted on their web site.

If you are a member of another project and would like to join ours, simply go to Family Tree DNA, enter your kit number and password, click the icon at left of the new page, and select the Wiedemeier project. If you were tested by the Genographic project and would like to join our project, go to the Genographic site, enter your kit number, click the Learn More link at the bottom of your report page, and follow the instructions.

Except for the costs of the test, the benefits of testing with Family Tree DNA include the following FREE services:

  1. The person will be part of our Surname or Geographic Project.

  2. The person will be included in the largest Y-DNA database in the world.

  3. The individual will have total control over whether you compare your results only within your project or against the entire database.

  4. Names and email addresses of your genetic matches are provided so that you may contact them.

  5. Personal phone and e-mail support by qualified personnel. Both the phones and email messages are answered by a human being and not by an automated response system.

  6. Family Tree DNA is the only service, which has a calculator, created by our population geneticist that gives you the likelihood of sharing a common ancestor with your genetic match within a certain time frame.

  7. Family Tree DNA allows you to join, leave, and be part of multiple Projects at the same time, without any additional testing or cost.

  8. As additional people test, your result will be matched against them and in case of a match; you will be notified by e-mail.

  9. Family Tree DNA allows you continued access to your account, projects, and matches without additional testing, cost or subscription fees.

  10. Family Tree DNA is the only company that stores your DNA for 25 years allowing you to order additional tests using the original sample.

  11. Family Tree DNA is the only company to offer the SNP Assurance Program: if no backbone haplogroup can be estimated with 100% certainty, FTDNA will SNP test your sample for-free.
