Project Surnames:| Raehse | Rass | Reece | Rees | | Reese | Rehse | Reis | Reise | | Reiss | Reisz | Res | Rese | | Ress | Rhees | Ries | Riess | | Van Rees | Project Background: | While a surname itself may give us incomplete or misleading or, at best, only general information about the origin of a family, DNA-testing can give us concrete evidence for identifying and separating family lines. Y-chromosome DNA testing is especially helpful because the male Y-chromosome is handed down, father to son, unchanged through the generations, except for rare mutations which, in themselves, can be helpful indicators of branching. The accessibility and affordability of family DNA testing is doubtless the greatest technical advance in the history of genealogical research because -- at long, long last -- we have a tool to break down those brick walls! | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Goals: The goal of the REESE Surname Project is to distinguish between REESE ancestral lines, worldwide. Any reasonable spelling variant is included (please feel free to suggest a variant you feel I have missed).
Please note that, at the outset, it makes sense to "cast the net widely." As the number of individuals tested increases and various lines become well defined, I will be more than happy to turn over these lines to other researchers specializing in them. I don't recommend splitting-up the project at the outset because I have a feeling we are in for some surprises with regard to where the divisions belong...
