Updated 14 September 2024 The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the ORMSBYs of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things. 1) The surname of the person being tested. 2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line. 3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor. 'Ormsby' is a surname and the families have dispersed from the UK as far as the antipodes. This project is aimed at bringing the DNA testers together in one place to learn which families of today belong to those of yesterday.
