Official Royston DNA Project for ALL Royston, Roysdon, Roiston, Rishton and any variation from every geographical location. I warmly welcome you to join our one name study, project. This is primarily a YDNA project for matching purposes, but are happy to also list genealogies for mtDNA and FamilyFinder participants who have a Royston ( Varied Spellings) in their line. Any YDNA test-taking participant must always be a MALE who either (1) descends in an unbroken male-to-male line from a Royston-surnamed male ancestor (including variant surnames) or who (2) has reason to believe he descends from such an ancestor. Females don't carry the type of DNA, yDNA, needed for testing in this. However, females are warmly invited to have a male Royston in their line take the test as their representative. Same thing for autosomal results-you may do an autosomal transfer to FamilyTreeDNA which will enable you to compare all with the entire extensive database. I encourage you in all circumstances .
