Description
A Group Study for ALL Variations of BAIRD, BARD, & BEARD.. We hope to attract other male, BAHR, BAHRT, BAIDE, BAIRD, BAIRDE, BAIRT, BAR, BARD, BARDE, BARR, BART, BARTH, BAYARD, BAYRD, BEAIRD, BEAR, BEARD, BEER, BERD, BIARD, BIERD, BIRD, MACINWARD, WARD (and all other surname variations) as participants in this group project.
There seems to be only one viable means to overcome the obstacles that name variation presents to ALL of us, and make any pre-immigration genealogical sense out of all of this... And that is DNA research.
If you have ANY questions or reservations concerning this DNA Y study, please don't be afraid to e-mail the study administrator.
If you have a variation of this surname, or you have probable variants in your old world or ancient genealogy, then you're in the right place! PLEASE join our group study and be tested.
I'm sure most of you could relate name variation incidents and problems in your research history. This group DNA Y Project has two main objectives. The first relates to determining relationships between persons and families bearing the name variants in recent times. There are many BAIRD, BARD BEARD, (and other associated surname variations) throughout North America and the world that may have direct connections through a common ancestor.
Or, They may have more remote, indirect, or distant connections with each other, partly because surnames became modified over generations as families migrate to new areas, and for various other reasons. The second, broader objective then, is to trace all BAIRD, BARD, and BEARD, and variants back into Europe and beyond to determine their connections via a common ancestor.
Participation in this project is limited to males bearing the BAIRD, BARD, BEARD (or variant) surnames.

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.
