About us
General Project Goals:
Current Goals:
- Build a database of Zachary (or variation surname) lineages, grouped by DNA signature - those within a given lineage can compare and see where to focus their conventional paper trail research.
- Find proof of surname change - since there are so many variations to the name Zachary, DNA can help track down name changes.
- Make research easier by ruling out unrelated branches.
- Discover geographic origins in another continent or country.
Current Goals:
- Looking for any male Zachary's (or variations listed on the Surnames Page) from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Autosomal DNA tests show a majority percentage coming from the UK - for example, one project administrator has 56% from FTDNA, 57% from 23 & Me and 74% from Ancestry.com.
- Looking for any Zachary's (or Thackeray's or name variations) from anywhere in the world to join the project.
