Updated 20 Nov 2022 To help find family connections for the HANCOCKs of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things. 1) The surname of the person being tested. 2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line. 3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor. Essentially, this Y-DNA Project is for males with the surnames, HANCOCK & HANDCOCK. We will be testing the male line of every group in hopes of connecting the ones who have been unable to find the necessary documents to further their genealogical research of their Hancock or Handcock line.
