Description
This project aims to discover how various Hildreth lines may be related to each other. This includes determining whether Richard Hildreth b. 1605 in England, d. 23 Feb 1693 in Chelmsford, MA, and Thomas Hildreth b. unk. in England, and d. 1657 in Southampton, LI, NY are closely related, and the time to their most recent common ancestor (MRCA).
Please consider upgrading existing Y-12, Y-25, Y-37, Y-67, and Y-111 tests to Big Y-700. This will facilitate a better understanding of various Hildreth lineages and enable those with the surname Hildreth, or a variation thereof, to ascertain if they are descendants of either Richard or Thomas Hildreth, or another Hildreth branch with a common ancestor perhaps further back in time.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
