Description
Updated 14 September 2024
The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males.
Many surnames included in this Study are thought to be derived from the ancient Scot borderland of Liddesdale. See the surname list below.
These tests also provide a good idea for the participant about Most-Remote Ancestry--back into the New Stone Age period in some cases depending on the ethnic group the participant may belong to. --So some very good products ARE obtained from taking these less capable tests. But please don't expect these lesser tests to provide the precision of kinship that the 37-marker and mtDNAPLus ones do.
(The Team also supports the Leyton-Leighton Cluster Study and a new Perry Study during their formulative stages.)
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
