The VA-1600 project focuses on early pre-1700 Virginia families. This project is for yDNA participants.

GROUP APPLICANTS MUST name their paternal ancestor line and where they lived in Virginia prior to 1700.

------ Not everyone has a genealogy that connects with an early Virginia ancestor through documentation. When this happens: provide an explanation as to why or how you believe you connect to an early Virginia male ancestor.

------ Your provided info will not appear online. The Group Administrator will keep a record to evaluate alongside other group members that claim the same male line.

FOR YOUR JOIN REQUEST TO BE APPROVED: Provide your paternal line info (your father's father's ... father's line) as it leads back to a claimed male Virginia Ancestor living in Virginia prior to 1700..

We welcome all direct line male descendants who trace their line back to Virginia in the 1600s.
