Description
O'BRIEN, O'BRIAN, O'BRYAN, O'BRYEN, OBRIEN, OBREGON, BRIAN, BRIANT, BRIEN, BRYAN, BRYEN, BRYANT, and any other reasonable spelling variations, including aliases, such as PRINS and UBRY or UBRI, are welcome to join the project. Only males have Y-chromosomes, so only male O'BRIEN/etc. can participate. If you are female, you can have a male O'BRIEN/etc. relative submit a sample for your line. To participate meaningfully, testees will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to the earliest known O'BRIEN/etc., either in the form of a pedigree chart or, preferable, family group sheets (excluding living persons). For further information, please see the web page here at FTDNA and the one at my genealogy web site:

Thank you and good hunting,

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
