==Attention All Zalewskis==
Ok, all of you [[Zalewski]] people out there, want to find out as much information as you can about the Zalewski surname and where it comes from? Is your Zalewski ancestor related to one of the many Zalewski families being researched by others?

With advances in genetic testing, genealogists now have another tool to aid us in our family history endeavors. The Zalewski Surname DNA Project was recently organized to determine whether there are genetic links between the various Zalewski families throughout the world. It can also serve to validate research within established lines, and to prove or disprove relationship theories when no documentation has been found through traditional research.

If you are researching a Zalewski family, we invite you to participate in our study! The success of this project depends on the number of participants, so please pass this information along to other Zalewski researchers!

==Here's how it works==
The Zalewski DNA Project is a study of the [[Y-Chromosome DNA]], which is passed from father to son unchanged, except for occasional mutations. The test provides you with a genetic fingerprint consisting of 12, 25 or 37 numbers, which will be compared with the results of other participants in the study. If two people have a match, that means they have a common male ancestor somewhere up the line. The test won't tell you specifically who that ancestor was, but it can narrow down a time frame of when the most recent common ancestor ([[MCRA]]) lived.

We have chosen Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX as our testing company. They are leaders in their field and are associated with Dr. Michael Hammer, Ph.D., Geneticist, associate research scientist in the Division of Biotechnology at the University of Arizona. The test involves the collection of cells by a painless swabbing of the inside of your cheek. The laboratory then analyzes the sample and prepares the results for comparison with other participants in the study.

==Can I join the study?==
Because only males carry a Y-chromosome, participants must be males with the ZALEWSKI surname or direct male bloodline. But that doesn't eliminate females, or males with another surname, from becoming involved. You can ask any male relative (father, brother, uncle, distant cousin) with the Zalewski surname to represent your family line, as long you both descend from a common Zalewski ancestor.

+We have chosen Family Tree DNA of Houston, TX as our testing company. The testing laboratory will be analyzing either the 12, 25, or 37 markers on the Y-chromosome. If two people have a match, that means they have a common male ancestor somewhere in the past. The test won't tell you specifically who that ancestor was, but it can narrow down a time frame of when the most recent common ancestor ([[MCRA]]) lived. Though, possibly through the sharing of family information with other participants, that ancestor could be found. It is our opinion that the 25 or 37 marker test is much better at reporting the kind of data that we need to determine that we are related, as the 12 marker test can find many matches that are not close in generations to most research. You can upgrade from the 12 marker to the 25 marker or 37 marker at a later date, if desired.
