As Creer is a very rare name (800-1000 worldwide today who originate
from the Isle of Man) and a
significant amount of genealogy research has been done already which connects
these families directly to the Isle of Man, there is a high probability that a
Creer surname DNA Study will provide some new insights into our common heritage.
As each participant will be required to purchase his own test himself from
FTDNA at a cost of US$148.00 (£90 approx) it is important that the benefits of
taking part are clearly described.
As a minimum, participants will receive the
following benefits:-
From the Project Coordinator:-
 | Advice and guidance on the interpretation of his own individual results
and of others in the study, in relation to each other. |
| Possible identification of new Creer family connections with an assessment
of when their common ancestors might have lived and where. |
| Evaluation of the results in relation to the existing conventional
genealogical research already done on their own family, to see if this adds to
or changes what is already believed to be true. |
| Full information on the results and interpretation of the study as a
whole, both as the study progresses and at other important milestones. |
| Email (and telephone if necessary) support on all aspects of the study. |
| Online guidance and progress reports via this website |
| A certificate of their individual DNA signature (haplotype) |
| A report on their individual results |
| A copy of the phylogenetic tree for the Creer family derived from the
results of the whole study. This is a graphic representation of how
participants in the study relate to each other and will be produced at the
end of the study. |
| Their own private webpage on the FTDNA website with their results,
together with other information and guidance on their genetic typing and
matches with other people on the FTDNA database. |
| A prediction of their individual haplogroup - indicating their possible
deep ancestral origin in the early groups of men migrating around the world
(i.e. more than 10,000 years ago) |
| A 12% group discount on the public list price for this test from FTDNA. |
