The Yarger Surname Project
Description:
A surname project for YARGER/YARGAR/YURGER/YERGER/JOERGER/JORGER and related names with the goal of determining related families deriving from the Yarger families in eastern PA in the 18th century. Hopefully we might eventually find DNA matches in Germanic areas of Europe. Researchers have identified 5 or 6 families living in Berks, Centre, Union & Montgomery Counties of PA who may be related. DNA tests should allow us to separate lines that are not related and allow us to concentrate on related lines. We know that George Jurger, Martin Jurger, Peter Jurger and Veit Jerger were in Philadelphia County PA by 1740. Some speculation is that they were brothers. Y-DNA from a male descendant of each line will shed light on this speculation.
