DNA project for central Switzerland

[TimothyPeterman]

I have been researching my ancestry for a number of years and have recently gotten involved in DNA testing. My family is from an ancient haplogroup that has been in or near Switzerland for several thousand years. My great grandfather, Josef Petermann (1862-1953) was born in Root, Switzerland. The Petermann family has appeared in the records there for a number of centuries.

Recently, I started a new DNA project called Urschweiz, which focuses on y-DNA testing in and around the central part of Switzerland.

The following is a link to the project that I administer:

I would appreciate it if you could share this with the people of Root who are inclined to be interested in genealogy or history in general. Members of the Petermann family might find this to be of great interest.

Thank you for your help in this matter.
