Welcome to the BIG-YDNA REBBE PROJECT.

            ''' The goal of this project''' is to work on getting at least one, if not more descendant of as many '''Son after Son after Son'''  '''Ben Achar Ben''' of Rebbe's of '''Chassidic Dynasties'''  
             ''' The point is to get tested with the BIG Y-Dna test,''' from https://www.familytreedna.com/products/big-y    '''Remember,''' If you test someone with the '''BIG Ydna''' test. 

You could potentially help so many other people that are matches as well, and mainly people that think they are descendants because they have been told so by their grandparents, but have no clue how. Even your own family. Or you could gift a kit to a family member or friend
Please try to keep in mind, the best practice is to prepare the kit in front of you. So you are sure it's prepared properly, for the person intended for. And you make sure it is mailed correctly.

      '''The way it works is.''' The test is done on the https://www.familytreedna.com/products/big-y website. Once the results are ready, it could be connected to the profile of the tester on geni.com  and it will show for the father to father to father as well.  And to the son to sons as well. 

Another important thing, It would be a great idea to invest another few dollars, and have them do the family-finder test as well. Because if it turns out they are not Ben Achar Ben. They could eventually at least figure out if they are even related to that Rebbe's family. The family finder test are usually on sale during most calendar holidays.

If you think we missed a name please contact one of the Collaborators.
If you already tested a descendant of a Rebbe? And would like to add him to the project please contact us.

If you would like to help please contact us. But only if your serious.
If you feel close enough with a person that you know 100% that he is a son after son. Which in Hebrew is called Ben achar Ben. Please try to ask him if you could test him. Explain to them it takes just one minute, and there is no needles or blood involved.
And offer to keep his name confidential if the person does not feel comfortable having his full name in the results.

If we coulud get people from the same lineages but from different children to test, would be amazing. Because if we test more people we have more to compare it with. And more people might be able to confirm their Yischus.

And let's try to keep it respectful and confidential.
