Updated 14 September 2024 The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the RAINEYs 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. This project will assist researchers in finding relationships between the different Rainey / Raney lines. We are not limited to these spellings and encourage anyone working on these surnames with any spelling to join us. We hope this DNA project will connect some of those lines.
