The Hough/Huff/Hoff/Haugh surname project is open to Houghs all over the world, no matter how you spell it. In fact the more unique spellings we get the more we can tell if we are connected or not. When you request to join the group, please tell us a little bit about your Hough, Huff, Hoff, etc. connection. In order to manage the project, it is expected that new members provide the project administrators limited access to your data. The default setting is Project Access which does not provide access for administrators. All Y-DNA testers must provide their family tree plus the name of their earliest known paternal (Hough, Huff, etc). ancestor. For Family Finder test members, a list of ancestral surnames must also be provided. Membership is tentative until this information is provided.
