Description
Read before clicking join
This Y DNA project is for MEN named Connolly, Connelly, Conlee, Conley, or a close variation. (See SURNAMES.) It is not sufficient to have a Conley person in your ancestry. The tester must be a man named Conley and his direct paternal lineage must be of men named Conley.
State in your JOIN request the most recent Y DNA test you ordered - Y37, Y67, Y111, or Big Y. One of these tests is required. Y37 is the minimal, "entry level" test.
If you don't already have a Y DNA test of 37 markers or more, see the FTDNA products page:
https://www.familytreedna.com/products/y-dna.
If you already have a FTDNA account with a swab submitted, log in to your account before ordering your Y DNA test.
See the FAQ for project policies, rules, tips on setting up your account, etc:

Men with non-eligible surnames will likely need to do substantially more testing beyond Y37 and need to follow the FAQ instructions BEFORE clicking JOIN.
See our DNA and Y testing tutorial if you need help understanding the differences between the male line, female line, and universal lineage types of tests:

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.
