Y-DNA SURNAME PROJECT

The CASSIDY & Variant Sp Surname Y-DNA Project was established on 11 AUG 2004 to create a growing database of DNA profiles of male CASSIDY descendants to aid in genealogical research. DNA analysis can assist in supporting or refuting the premise that two or more participants descend from a common ancestor.

Y-DNA Requirements: Since a Surname Project in essence traces members of a family that share a common surname. In order to be relevant to the Surname Project, the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his paternal line (father's father's father's...). The test to be ordered is at least Y-DNA37. Females (a) don't carry their father's Y-DNA, and (b) acquire a new surname by the way of marriage, so they should look for a brother or cousin with that surname to be tested to join the project. 

The Y-DNA project encourages participants to be tested at the highest number of markers that they can afford, 37, 67, 111 markers or the Big Y.  Please go the the FTDNA homepage to order or upgrade your kit - https://www.familytreedna.com/
