I need more male Keach DNA participants ! When I set up the Keach DNA Surname Project I imparted not one but two projects. Perhaps having two projects in one Project was a bold undertaking, but I saw the two projects as a "part one" and a "part two" OF THE SAME GOAL. The purpose of having a DNA surname Project is to move past brick walls in genealogy endeavors. DNA is a very important tool because it contains specific information about a person. This specific information can be "read" by scientists because scientists have long studied the human body and have discovered that our cells contain protein. Some proteins form structures like hair. Protein has a set of amino acids (there are 20 different types of amino acids). As one goes further into the exploration process one realizes that each one of us contains an ultra condensed "code" and the different parts of this code form what is very much like an Autobiography.
I need more Keach males to be DNA tested, so that we can start putting together individual Keach lines. We can, also, then discover if there are any connections with others who have spelled their name differently - like Keech, Keachie, Keetch and many others.

I realize that many with the Keach surname are private people, but I ask for male DNA donors in the name and importance of genealogy. Please do not let the Keach name go quietly into that good night!
