About us
yDNA results are in the "DNA Results" section.
A yDNA test can indicate whether or not two people share a recent male-line ancestor.
The Searle yDNA Project is open worldwide to men who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of family history information and yDNA testing.
All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.
Donations for specific research areas If any member wants to encourage people with known roots in their ancestors region to order a kit please make a donation to our General Fund.
Demolishing those Brickwalls All family genealogists will hit the proverbial 'brickwall' sooner or later. Many researchers suspect other lines, with the same or similar surnames, could
be connected to their tree. Unfortunately there is often no documentary evidence available to prove it. This project will hopefully provide an opportunity to remove some of these 'brickwalls'.
Joining of existing family trees If you suspect you are related to another family group then why not use yDNA testing to prove it.
Joining of existing family trees If you suspect you are related to another family group then why not use yDNA testing to prove it.
All it takes is 2 tests, one Searle male from each line, to find out if you have a yDNA match. You may prove connections not only to the obvious groups but to others from around the world.
Spreading the cost If you are concerned about the cost then please consider that you can spread it between your family group.
Spreading the cost If you are concerned about the cost then please consider that you can spread it between your family group.
For example, if you have a proven family tree then only one direct descendant male needs to submit a sample.
So every member within a group could share the costs.
The Ladies Please don't forget how important the ladies are when it comes to organising things.

So whilst it's the Searle males that supply the yDNA it could very well be the ladies that provide the organisational skills
necessary to get those men to do the test.
