About us
Most of our current DNA volunteers appear to have direct or indirect ties to the UK based on the paper trail. For example, the earliest record for William Zachary is a 1773 tithable record in Trinity Parish (formed from Fredericksville Parish), Louisa County, Virgina - this parish was a Church of England parish. Interestingly, one of the US Government founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, was a vestryman in this parish for sometime after 1762 (see Old Churches, Ministers and Families or Virginia).
Selecting the Join button (at the upper right of this page) will automatically make you a member of the project (it's free to be a member!). If you decide to order a DNA test, we highly recommend ordering through the Zachary Surname Project (Family Tree DNA tests are about $20 off listed price, when you order through a surname project). Note: Financial assistance is available to those who cannot afford the entire cost of the test.
