The Boxall DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today!

Our project has three results, we are hoping for many exciting discoveries.

Participating is an opportunity to hopefully uncover information not provided in the paper records, which will help with your family history research. We are hoping to discover which family trees are related. As the project progresses, the results for the various family trees will provide information not only about the evolution of the surname but also whether my theory is correct; that there is more than one definitive ancestor, therefore, many distinctive family lines under the same name and it's variant spellings.

The surnames in this DNA Project are also researched as part of the Boxall (and variants) One-name study World Wide. You can learn more about this significant research, and the associated family trees, by contacting the Group Administrator.

The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a Boxall or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, please find a male in your family tree to participate.

We encourage males who order a Y DNA test to order 37 markers, if possible. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, though this costs a little more.

Both males and females may also be interested in learning about their direct female line, which would be their mother, their mother's mother, and back in time. You would order a mtDNA test. For matches in a genealogical time frame, order the mtDNA Plus test.
