Baschi Meyer Project

  • If Hans/John is in your family tree, please consider joining the The Baschi Meyer Project: Descendants, Documentation, and DNA.
  • Given the challenging state of documentation from earlier generations, the Baschi Meyer Project is looking for male-line Meyer descendants willing to participate in Y-DNA testing to help figure out who is descended from whom.
  • A Y-DNA test from a descendant of one of John's sons will help determine his connection to other descendants.
