Ballard "male y DNA" lines are welcome to join this project the aim is to establish separate y SNP DNA liness for Ballard Families. Ideally if over time I can collect three BIGY700 testers for each separate Ballard branch/ y DNA line, I can compare these testers and their match names with my extensive Ballard pre-surname study data, in hope of discovering the separated historical origins of each line, therefore ruling them out as my own ancesters. If you have close STR matches with BALLARD project members, we can examine your results and make recomendations. including BALLARD or name variants - Balard, Ballar, Ballard, Ballardie, Ballardine, Ballardy, Ballart, Baller, Ballord, Beler, Beli-Hardd, Belihard, Bellard, Bellardi, Bellardie, Beller, Beluard, Belward, Bilard, Billard, Billiard, Bolhard, Bollard, Bollardt, Bollart, Bollaerts, Bolhard, Bosc-Le-Hard, Boscroard, + plus a myriad of many others including NPE's
