About us
The project uses Y-DNA to identify men who share a patrilineal ancestor as Y-DNA is passed down virtually unchanged from father to son throughout the generations. Member Y-DNA results include subclades of haplogroups R, I, E, and J with reported ancestry from Scotland, Ireland, England, Italy, Austria, and Germany. Y-DNA results indicate the Cross surname has multiple independent origins.
At the close of 2022, project membership totaled 330 with 175 Y-DNA testers, 38 of which had Big Y results.
Results have been arranged into subgroups representing varying levels of connected ancestry within the genealogical timeframe. Subgroups are based on SNP test results and/or STR matching regardless of surname. Administrators strive to group new Y-DNA members within 1-2 days; however, there may be occasions when grouping is delayed. Project subgroups are under continuous review by administrators and updated in response to new test results and new members.
If you are a male with the Cross surname, please order a Y-DNA test (Y-37, Y-111, or Big Y). Males who don't carry the Cross surname and female descendants should order the Family Finder test. Females should ask a male Cross relative to take a Y-DNA test. Please contact an administrator if you need help with ordering.
