About us
For the genealogical study of Vizzaccaro families.
Our primary goal is to identify, through the use of Y-DNA testing, the relatedness of Vizzaccaro families in Italy, Canada, the United States and elsewhere.
It is hoped that we can establish whether or not all Vizzaccaro families are biologically related (i.e. have a single common ancestor) and, if so, establish how distant in time such an ancestor might have lived.
This project is open to anyone with a variant of the Vizzaccaro surname. Because it relies on Y-DNA, which is passes solely from father to son, all participants will need a direct male descendant of someone with the Vizzaccaro, Vizachero, Vizzaccero, Vizzacchero, Vizacaro, or Vizzachero surname to supply the DNA for testing.
We strongly encourage you to order the Big Y-700 test but welcome the 37-marker test. We are not encouraging participants to order the 111-marker test at this stage of our project.
Due to the state of genealogical records, the odds of identifying a common ancestor before 1750 or so is very low, but the Y-SNP data provided by the Big Y-700 test may provide enough information to help cluster lineages even in the absence of paper records.
