Description
The MILAM Y-DNA Project is organized for all who wish to work together to find their common heritage through Y-DNA testing and by sharing information. Currently we have 83 members of whom 26 are from Great Britain. The earliest spelling, Mileham, meant mill hamlet in Olde English. Since our name, MILAM, is also spelled Millam, Mileham, Milum, Mylam, Mylum, Milem etc, any spelling variation is eligible to join the project.
We welcome MILAMs world-wide to participate especially ones from Great Britain. Since only males have the Y-chromosome, only men and their Y-DNA test results can participate. If you are a female, you can ask a male MILAM relative - father, brother, grandfather - to take a Y-DNA test for your line. To participate meaningfully, project members must share the name of their oldest known male ancestor, the date of his life and his location including country.
We recommend that when you join the MILAM men's DNA project that you order at least the 37 marker test ( YDNA-37 ) at $119 - for many years previously it was $149.The YDNA-37 analysis will provide detailed results for haplogroup estimation and matching and is an excellent dollar value.
Join in the quest today!
Thanks Cousin!
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.
