The Hickmore DNA Project welcomes all participants. We encourage you to join today!

Our project is just getting started, and we expect to make many exciting discoveries.

Participating is an opportunity to uncover information not provided in the paper records which help with your family history research. We will also discover which family trees are related to which and, as the project progresses, the results for the various family trees will provide information about the evolution of the surname.

The surnames in this DNA Project are researched as part of the Hickmore one-name study. You can learn more about this significant research and the the associated family trees by visiting the one-name study web-site www.hickmore.org or contacting the Group Administrator whose e-mail address is: roy@hickmore.org.

The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a Hickmore or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, you will need to find a direct line male in your family tree to participate and represent your tree.

We encourage males who order a Y-DNA test to order 67 markers, if possible. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, although this costs more.

Both males and females may also be interested in learning about their direct female line, which would be their mother, their mother's mother, and back in time. Both men and women inherit mtDNA, although only women pass it on. You would order a mtDNA test. For matches in a genealogical time frame, order the mtDNA Plus test.

Both the Y DNA and the mtDNA test results contain no personal information, and you will match or be a close match to those to whom you are related. This is an opportunity to learn more about your origins and ancestry.
