Pieter Sjoukes Vroom (1846-1920) is my husband's 2nd-great Grandfather. At least part of this family ended up in Michigan, USA. from Leeuwarderadeel, Friesland, The Netherlands. I believe I added Pieter to your Vroom Name Study. I hope it is helpful. My husband has DNA tested. His auDNA may be helpful to you.

Thanks Ann! I've added it to the list.

We also have a Space page that represents our Vroom Surname DNA Project Vroom DNA Group Project that links to the actual project at FTDNA. It's mostly a Y-DNA project but some of us have autosomal DNA in there as well.
