Updated 14 September 2024. The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the SHARPs 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. Y-DNA testing ONLY for males with the surname of any spelling of Sharp. We hope to be able to match the various lines and fill in the gaps that occur with paper documentation. We, also, look forward to connecting the American Sharp lines to the lines in Europe and other countries.
