About us
The Milley surname project has several goals and phases. Key among them is to obtain at least one Y-DNA test from each geographic surname line to identify identical or close matches across family lines to determine kinship.
For more information see:
Pomeroy, C. (2010). Defining a methodology to reconstruct the family trees of a surname within a DNA/documentary dual approach. Journal of Genetic Genealogy, 6(1).
This chart is updated as new information becomes available.It shows:
- Known family lines;
- Y-DNA test results, lines that need testing, and pending tests from project members; and
- Y-DNA haplogroups identified through testing.
-
Most Recent Common Ancestor - Big Y-700 results indicate the common ancestor of these 5 branches may have lived at recent as mid-1700s
Haplogroup R-M269 downstream to R-FTA81728 - Big Y-700 results indicate the common ancestor of these 3 branches may have lived late-1700s -
Haplogroup R-M269 downstream to R-FTB18475 & R-FTB9479 - Big Y-700 results indicate the common ancestor of these 2 branches may have lived late-1700s
