Description
This Y-DNA Surname Project is for persons named Mabry, Mayberry, Maybury, Maberry, Mabrey and many others – we use the generic surname Maybury for convenience. Participants in the project must be male because only males have the Y chromosome where the family signature is found.
We welcome participants with a variant of the Maybury surname in England and in the various countries they immigrated to, such as: Ireland, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. By combining the results of Y-DNA testing with conventional genealogical research, we believe that we have found the identity of a common ancestor of many Mayburys worldwide. We are also revealing new Maybury families with new Maybury DNA signatures that have emerged as the result of name changes, adoptions, etc.
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.
