Welcome to the Royal surname project. The project is open to all males with the Royal surname, in any of the variant spellings. The purpose of the project is to connect project members from around the world who have an interest in their shared paternal genetic heritage. The main goal of the project is to help members with their genealogical research by identifying shared ancestors and family groups. Individuals with different surnames but who believe their ancestors share a Royal connection either through Autosomal, MtDNA or Y-DNA are also welcome to join the project.
