SAYLOR DNA PROJECT

Randy Saylor is collecting research material of the original emigrants - Seiler, Seyler, Saylor, etc - who arrived in America before 1800.

The purpose is to assist your research in support of the Saylor DNA Project.

The German/Swiss authorities were concerned about the large number of emigrants leaving for America. Restrictions and taxes were created to discourage emigration and many of the European records have survived about these emigrants. These matched with the ship lists of Philadelphia and early American records can, in a few lucky cases, give a continuous record of a settling family. DNA is one way for many of us to connect into these records.
