A diversified group of descendants from males bearing the DeGruy, DeGruise surname are seeking to continue tracing our ancestral roots to Europe and beyond.  To help us make the transition across "the great pond" from the United States to our ancestral roots, we know we need to have additional verification beyond the written records, which sometimes are even missing altogether.  Therefore we are looking for help through the new scientific methods of DNA testing.  In recent years it has proven an invaluable tool used by many genealogists to break down those brick walls we all face from time to time.  If you are a direct male line descendant from a DeGruy, Degruise (or any of the other deviations of this basic surname), we need your assistance.  The more direct line males we can have participating in this program, the more accurate and definitive our results will be.  Your name and information will remain private, we will simply be developing a DNA profile of those who descend down from this distinguished family.
