The HARRIS surname DNA study is an ongoing project open to any male descendant with the HARRIS surname or variant spellings (Aris, Arras, Haris, Harries, Harris, Harriss, Harry, Harrys, Heriz, Herrice, Herries, Herry, etc.). Family Finder submitters who have Harris ancestors are also welcome to join.

The Harris Welcome Page is found here (which also includes links to individual pages that map out lineages of the various Harris groupings that have been charted):

WELCOME TO THE HARRIS Y-DNA PROJECT

Our objective is to match up individuals or families who share a common male ancestor with the Harris surname. Current participants' Y-DNA results can be viewed at the FTDNA Harris Y-DNA results pages (with accompanying outlines of each Harris Group linked at this bottom of this page):
