Updated 20 Nov 2022 To help find family connections for the NIX 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. The purpose of the Nix Surname Project is to determine what (if any) genetic relationship the various Nix and Nicks families have with one another. The exciting new possibilities that genetic evidence provide, coupled with traditional family tree research, should shed light on the ancestral origins and kinship of individuals with the Nix / Nicks last name.
