About us

The Mallory Surname DNA Study will perform Y chromosome DNA tests for participants with the Mallory surname or primary variant spellings. By comparing our test results and privately sharing our family information freely among the Study participants we hope to achieve the following goals: 1. Verify kinship of specific participants. Two or more participants may confirm a common ancestor through identical test results. 2. Compare individual test results with those of other participants who have proven paper trails from historical family lines such as The Mallorys of Colonial Virginia. 3. Prove or disprove descendancy from a specific individual by comparing test results with those of his known descendants. 4. Determine if the descendants of Peter Mallory of New Haven, Connecticut and those of the Mallorys of Virginia share a common ancestor. 5. Determine how the Mallorys of Bermuda are related to Mallorys in the United States and Canada. 6. Determine if Mallorys living in North America descend from Mallorys in the United Kingdom by comparing test results from Ireland and England and if possible, specific sites such as Kirkby Mallory. 7. Help any individual believed to be a Mallory descendant narrow the focus of his research, especially if little or no paper trail exists. 8. Establish a General Fund in order to recruit new participants by offering free DNA testing. Click on the "News" link above for details.
