Kraus-Krause

and various spellings of this

Surname Project

This is a demo page to show what I propose for the FTDNA Kraus-Krause Project. The layout is similar to that on the present FTDNA page.

Members:   xx

Website: www.familytreedna.com/public/Kraus

Description: The prime focus of this project is multifold and is best described according to the goals shown below.

The aim is to establish relationships between as many Kraus/Krause/ other variations of the surname as possible worldwide. At the present time the groups are:

1) Identify the relationships of those Kraus(e) families whose ancestors lived in German villages on the Volga.  The direct ancestors left the Barony of Thuengen in what is now northern Bavaria in 1766 to settle first in the village of Stahl-am. The Haplotype for this group is xxxx.

2) Descendants of the Krause group that was located in West Prussia/Pommern/Pomerania area of what is now part of Poland. Results of Y-Chromosome DNA results has shown that to-date, there  are at least seven different branches of the Krause surname that have a common Krause ancestor. The haplotype for this group is I1b.

3) Additional groups that descend from a common male ancestor.

Surnames in Project:  Kraus, Krauss, Kruse, Krause, Krouse, Krausse, Crouse, Crause, Crausse, Krauze, etc.
