Our DNA project continues to grow, and we already have made some exciting discoveries about links between different Appleby lines from Northern counties of England, Essex and the Midlands.  However, we still need more yDNA test results for Appleby lines from all parts of Great Britain.  And if you are a male Appleby/bee living in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, there is a good possibility that you can discover where in England your ancestors originally lived!

We have also established a General Fund, to accept donations in any currency via credit card. These funds will be held at the testing company, and used to help sponsor test kits for those key males who would otherwise be unable to afford the cost of participation in the project. We encourage you to make a donation. To make a donation please click on the link on the 'Background' page about our project. If you decide to donate, please specify "Appleby Project General Fund" in the top box of the Donation form.
