About us

Ours is one of the earliest, most developed surname-based Y-chromosome projects in the world. All British-origin family trees have been identified back at least as far as 1800. At least one member of the vast majority of these trees has been DNA tested.

FTDNA has updated its security settings and the project has a new administrator. Please go to your Project preferences page and update your settings so that the current administrator can have access.  


The purpose of the Po Elroy Surname Project is to provide a public forum to support the genealogical research and interests of members with Pomeroy (Pumroy, Pomery, etc ). ancestries, a public site where members share and compare their Y-DNA test results, ancestry information and family trees with other members who join this public project.

By joining the project, you agree that your Y-DNA haplogroup, STR and SNP results and early ancestor information will be visible to project members.  Our project is set so Mitochondrial DNA test results are only visible to project members.  Autosomal DNA results are not visible to the public.


Project members are expected to post earliest known ancestry information that has been verified through historical records. Project administrators may edit or remove information that lacks historical verification or is based upon speculative family trees posted by others. This is to avoid others from adopting what may erroneous information.
