The Chandler DNA Project, jointly sponsored by the Chandler Family Association, the Edmund Chandler Family Association, and the Chandler One-Name Study, seeks to identify any and all lines of Chandlers worldwide and the relationships among them, if any. Since the Chandler surname is occupational in origin, there may be many independent lines. Included surname variations are Chandeler, Chandler, Chandlor, Chanler, Chaundeler, Chaundler, and Chaundlor. The Chandler Family Association uses Family Tree DNA for our DNA Project testing. Genetic tests from Family Tree DNA will provide a probability that you and another person, if the two of you have an exact match, have a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) within a range of time backwards. The DNA test used measures the lengths of certain specific sequences on the Y chromosome. By comparing these lengths for different test subjects, we can deduce approximately how closely the testees are related. Note: the Y chromosome occurs only in males and is passed down more-or-less unchanged from father to son, and so this testing follows only the male line. A genetic test kit consists of a cheek scraper and a collection tube. Using the cheek scraper has about the same effect as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle toothbrush. The cost for a 37-locus DNA test is $189 (plus shipping) to participants in the Chandler DNA Project. The CFA encourages all eligible Chandlers to take or upgrade to the 37-marker DNA test.
