About us
The VA-1600s project focuses on early pre-1700 Virginia families. There are separate projects for mtDNA and yDNA.
This project is for Surname (Paternal - yDNA) participants. We welcome all direct line descendants who trace their paternal line back to Virginia in the 1600s.
>> Applicants must identify their Virginia ancestor by name and approximate years of birth and death, and location.
------ 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.
