Only males have Y-chromosomes, so only males with the surname McCarville or its variations, derived from their father, can participate. If you are female, you can have a male McCarville relative submit a sample for your line. To participate meaningfully, participants will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to their earliest known McCarville ancestor in the form of a brief pedigree chart. We can assist you with your charting as we already have approx 60 McCarville charts with over 24,000 names from Ireland, Scotland, Canada and the USA.
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.
