Lindsay* Surname DNA Project

 Statement of Intent / Registration

I have read the material provided regarding DNA testing and the LINDSAY Surname DNA Project and I would like to express my intent to participate.  Submitting the e-mailed Registration statement does not constitute a commitment on my part.

If I choose to proceed and complete the Lindsay Project DNA testing, I understand I will receive an official certificate of my personal Y-Chromosome test results, originating from the "DNA Heritage" test laboratory.  I also understand that the anonymous composite results of the Lindsay group tests will help to establish the Lindsay haplotype (s) and determine which of the Lindsay lineages share a common ancestor.

I also understand that my specific DNA results, along with the composite group of all Lindsay participants, referenced with my assigned L#, my specific surname spelling such as Lindsay, Lindsey, etc will be published on this web site as a copyrighted document (see the typical reporting format found at the Lindsay Surname Haplotype Database  ) for the purpose of furthering the understanding of the global Lindsay haplotypes.

If you should match one or more of the other Lindsay participants, with at least a 39 out of the 43 markers (no more than four mismatches), your DNA marker data will also be published with that particular DNA Grouping, at this web site, with reference to your laboratory control number, your unique Lindsay Project L# code, and your specific surname (Lindsay, Lindsey, etc), along with the full name,  date & place of birth & death and spouse of your "Earliest Known Progenitor", for the purpose of trying to establish the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for that particular DNA Grouping.  See  DNA Group 1 as a typical example of this provision.

Check out the “Orthography” page at this web site for the various acceptable spellings of the Lindsay surname. 

If you concur with the International Lindsay Surname DNA Project Guidelines and meet the requirements of the International Lindsay Surname DNA Project Rules of Participation and want to express your intent to participate in this project, please click on Ron Lindsay and send me an e-mail with the following information.   Please place "Registration International Lindsay Surname DNA Project" in the subject line of your e-mail.  The information in the body of the e-mail should include the following (copy & paste the seven items below into your e-mail and then fill in the content).

1. Your full name:

2.  E-mail address:

3. Street Address:

4. City/State/Postal Zip Code:

5. Country:

6. Telephone Number:

7. Lindsay Genealogical Information:

In the Lindsay Genealogical Information (item #7 above) please provide the minimum (as many generations as possible is encouraged) three generations (yourself, your father & your paternal grandfather) of your paternal male lineage, including full name, date and place of birth, date & place of death (if applicable).  This genealogical information is essential in our attempt to determine intersect points if any of the tested Lindsay lineages share a common ancestor.   None of this genealogical information will be provided to the testing laboratory.  Only your surname and the "earliest known progenitor" information will be posted on this web site along with your coded L# and DNA marker values.

Your e-mail to me provides your Registration and intent to participate in the International Lindsay Surname DNA Project.

Shortly after the participant has submitted his Registration information and the minimum required genealogical information, to the Project Coordinator, the Project Coordinator will acknowledge receipt of your registration and advise you of any additional information needed for you to participate in the Lindsay Surname DNA Project and provide you with a DNA Sample Kit along with complete instructions.  Your actual commitment to this project will not occur until you have returned your DNA Sample Kit to the Project Coordinator, along with your payment ($149.00 USD for the high-resolution 43-marker test, made payable to DNA Heritage) to cover the laboratory cost of the Y-Chromosome DNA test.

My very best regards.
