Description
Pomeroy, Pomroy, Pomery, Pummery, Pummeroy, Pumroy & de Pomeroy.
The Pomeroy Family Association has been running a One Name Study incorporating DNA & documentary surname reconstruction since 2001.
Our matrix of results helps New World POMs find their Old World ancestral family.
We respond to requests to join our project promptly, but we ask name-bearers who want to join to ask us first in order to enable us to safeguard our results as required our original project privacy protocol dating back to 2000.
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.
