About us

Hard to believe that the Fisher Group is more than 20 years old. Back then Y-12 was all we had and a 12/12 match was something to get excited about. We postulated fruitlessly about Viking, Saxon and Celtic heritages. Not anymore! There have been major developments in genetic genealogy over the past decade with Big Y now dominating our thinking. Despite all of the chnages our aim is still to determine the Y-DNA origins of Fisher families whose medieval ancestors came from Britain (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) including descendants who later emigrated to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa. We knew at the time that Fisher is a polygenic surname with multiple founder ancestors. The Y DNA results have more than verified that. However, whether or not you have traced your family tree, join us and discover something about your origins, which documents can never reveal.
