Description
The focus of this project is on the surname Molyneaux/Molyneux (and other variant spellings). Mx is used as an abbreviation to refer to any spelling.
The Y-DNA portion of the project is open to any male who descends from a known, or previously unknown, direct male Mx line and has ordered/taken an FTDNA Y-DNA (paternal ancestry) test.
The autosomal DNA (family ancestry) portion of this project is open to males and females who descend from a male or female Mx (up to 5X great grandparent level). You can join if you have ordered/taken the FTDNA FamilyFinder test, or if you have taken an AncestryDNA, 23andme, or MyHeritage test and have uploaded those results to FTDNA (this is a free transfer upload). ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** Males will now have their Y-DNA Haplogroup revealed with a transfer unlock.

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.
