Brady Surname Project- Background

Background

The Brady Surname Project is intended to examine and define the relationship of those varied and various Bradys. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this project 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. New Bradys are encouraged to submit a genealogy report (GEDCOM) and to take, as a minimum, the Y-DNA37 marker test.
