Description
The Talley-Tally DNA Project is an ongoing project open to any MALE DESCENDANT WITH THE TALLEY OR TALLY SURNAME (OR VARIANT SPELLINGS) Our primary objective is to try to identify and tie together the numerous Talley families to assist in proving our relationships. Current participants' results can be viewed on our website.
Men having Y-DNA testing done should have a Talley or variant surname, or have reason to believe they are Talley by paternity. Both men and women who have taken the Family Finder test are welcome IF THEY MATCH A TALLEY/TALLY, ETC. LINEAGE, but tools are limited at the project level for Family Finder.
If you do not carry the Talley-Tally (and variants) surname, but are related and are interested in researching the lineage, please email me directly at: aulicino@hevanet.com
No less than 37 Y-DNA marker test is recommended for the project as this puts the matching within a good genealogical time frame. If money is not an issue, please consider the Y-67 or 111 tests. Please note it is imperative that you set your Most Distant Direct Paternal Ancestor with name, some time frame and some geography in your account. You can access this configuration setting from your My Account tab.
**** When you submit your Join Request, please include your all-male Talley (variant spelling) lineage, your kit number, and the information on the Most Distant Ancestor you have proven in your Talley (and variant) line. ****
Every member is to provide their all-male lineage from the oldest PROVEN all-male line (Talley or if there is a name change, use that all-male line) to themselves in the format below. Please include all the detail for dates, locations and spouses names as given names that appear in many Talley lineages are the same.
1. John Tally, d. ca 1740 in Amelia Co, VA; m. ca 1708 to Anne (Anna) b. ca 1691 VA.
2. Abraham Tally, b. 2 Sep 1721 Bristol Parish, Prince George Co, VA; d. ca 1784 Mecklenburg Co, VA; m. Sarah UNKNOWN, b. ca 1723 VA; d. bef 1783 Mecklenburg Co, VA

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.
