Description
We extend a warm invitation for you to participate in the DNA Study if you are a Hawley or an individual with a variation of the surname. The goal is to determine how you connect to others of the family in England and America. Valuable information can be gained from your participation! Evidence of the Hawley surname, and its variations, is found in the United Kingdom in the following areas: Derbyshire/Staffordshire/Yorkshire; Lincolnshire down to Northamptonshire; London (Middlesex, Essex, London City) and west country (Devon, Dorset, Somerset), Ireland and Wales. Possibilities of migration and settlement across the ocean include: to the original 13 Colonies of America, to the States which grew from these 13 Colonies, to the territories of the United States, and to Barbados, Canada and Jamaica. Please consider joining this valuable effort today by ordering as many Y-chromosome gene tests as you feel you can afford. Please give permission to FamilyTreeDNA to share your results with others with exact gene matches. When you have communicated with others with exact gene matches, and figured out your lineage and your antecedents in the British Isles, please give this information back to the Society of the Hawley Family to add to our database.
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.
