The Sprague DNA Project highly recommends Family Tree DNA as your testing company. This ensures compatibility between test results and allows for better coordination of this project.

The Sprague DNA Project was established to support and supplement the genealogical research of the Sprague and Sprague-derivative surnames. This DNA project is working in cooperation with the large and popular The Sprague Project - the premier, genealogical web source for the Sprague and Sprague-derivative surnames.

Current goals of this project are the following.

Link numerous, unidentified lines with known heads of lines, namely
- Francis Sprague (1590 - 1676) [I1]
- Sons of Edward Sprague (1576 - 1614) [I35854]
  - Ralph Sprague (1599 - 1650) [I35895]
  - William Sprague (1609 - 1675) [I35850]
- Edward Spragg (1616 - 1685) [I99734]
- Benjamin Sprague (1740 - 1827) [I79629]
- William Sprague (- 1808) [I79897]
- John Sprague (1708 -) [I35111]
Scientifically support assumed lines of descent
Determine which researchers should be working together

These goals will be modified and updated as focus is gained over time.

DNA testing is an excellent supplement to standard genealogical research by offering a scientific verification of your lineage.

Have you hit the proverbial "brick wall" of research? DNA testing can point you in the right direction by identifying common DNA markers between males in your line and males with common ancestors.

Questionable sources and possible assumptions in your lineage can be a huge waste of time. DNA testing is able to identify bad lines thus saving you precious hours or even years of research.
