The Troy Surname DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today! Our project is just getting started, and we expect to have many exciting discoveries. Participating is an opportunity to uncover information not provided in the paper records, which will help with your family history research. We will also discover which family trees are related. As the project progresses, the results for the various family trees will provide information about the evolution of the surname. One important component of this project is determining the surname evolution that has occurred whereby the surname Troy was anglicised from a variety of surnames present in Ireland and the U.K. Possible surname forms that could be variants or the prior form of the Troy surname are therefore included in this project. If your surname spelling is close, but missing, we'll be glad to add it. The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a Troy or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, you will need to find a direct line male in your family tree to participate and represent your tree. We encourage males to order the Big Y test with Family Tree DNA, if possible. These thousands of results, then verified by Yfull.com, will be the definitive answer as to your connections back in time. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, though this costs a little more. Order your test kit TODAY, go to https://www.familytreedna.com/ for more information.
