The goal of this Y-DNA Via Surname Project is to create a permanent database of Via family members. As more male Via descendants join the Via Surname Project it should become easier for all members to identify their founding Via family line. We welcome members of all spelling of the name, everywhere. We hope to be able to link the American lines to those in Europe and worldwide. We also hope this project will supplement the existing documentation and research that our cousins have put together in the paper trail. Even if there is no match for a member today, there could be a match tomorrow as additional test kits are added to the project. So join our group and have some FUN and learn about YOUR Y-DNA and YOUR Via family line.
