Corson Surname DNA Project

Subsidy Fund

Because the cost of the recommended DNA test  is one of the biggest hurdles to participation, we've set up a subsidy fund.  The Corson/Colson Family History Association (CCFHA) and some Corson descendants have contributed funds to reimburse a portion of the test cost for individuals from particular family lines.  To date, the subsidy fund has reimbursed US$1875 for all or a portion of 22 tests.

US$40 Reimbursements (three remaining, total: US$120)

Three reimbursements of US$40 are available from the CCFHA for 3 participants, each of whom descends in the male line from one of the following ancestors:

• Christian Corson (1676-after 1764) or Jacob Corson (1681-1742), sons of Cornelius Corssen (1645-1692) (CCFHA Division III)
• Cors Corssen Vroom (b. 1676), or Hendrick (b. 1683), Hans, Ryse, or Alfred(?) Vroom, sons of Hendrick Corssen Vroom (1653-1690) (CCFHA Division III)
• an earliest-known male ancestor with the surname "(de) Courson/Corson" born in France
