As Y-DNA is only present in males, we can only accept a PICKERING male with Y-DNA results. Ladies will have to have their PICKERING, brother, father, uncle or male PICKERING cousin test to represent their PICKERING family line. We do not accept Family Finder or mtDNA tests. The Pickering Y-DNA Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common ancestor through sharing of information, and Y-DNA testing. All variant spellings are welcome. If your surname variation is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.
