Description
The goal of the TOVREA/TOVERY/TOVERA/TOBERRY/TOBERY Surname DNA Project is to determine if there is a familial relationship between these lines. This relationship can be confirmed or disproved with Y-DNA testing. Are men with these surnames descendants of a common ancestral line? Other spellings of this name have included TOVEREA, TOVREY, TOVARY, TOBERRY, TOBERY, TOBERA, TOWERY, TAVERY, LOVERA, LOVERY, and even LOWERY.
Early records include the states of MA, MD and PA. Later records, from 1800, are found in Anderson Co., TN, IL, IA, LA, OR, TX, AZ.
Recent DNA Results confirms there is a familial relationship between surnames of Tovrea, Tovery, Toberry and the surname of Tobery that is found in Frederick County Maryland in the latter 1700's.
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.
