Do you have an interest in van der Merwede genealogy? Would you like to help with the van der Merwede DNA Study, but can't participate directly because you don't meet the criteria of being a male van der Merwede? Do you have a relative who would like to participate but can't pay for all or some of the cost?

One way to help is by contributing to the van der Merwede DNA Study's general fund.

Family Tree DNA has arranged a convenient way for interested researchers to pay for some or all of a participant's test. You can pay by check, credit card or PayPal.

All contributions will be placed in the general fund for the van der Merwede DNA Study. Unless you indicate otherwise, your contribution will be used for any participant expressing a need. Otherwise, you may specify that the funds should be applied to a particular participant and that will happen.

Remember, donations of as little as $1, $5 or $10 can help (of euro voor de Nederlanders). The Stichting van der Merwede does not profit from these projects. Your donations help to defray some of the costs and we thank you for that.

Important: If you make a contribution, you must specify that it's for the van der Merwede Surname Project. There's a way to do that on each of the payment forms.
