Updated 14 September 2024. The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males. To help find family connections for the SIMMONS 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. SIMMONS, SIMONS, SIMON, SIMMINS, SIMONDS, SIMONSZ, SYMMONS, SYMONS, SYMONDS, SIEMEN, SIEMENS, and any other reasonable spelling variations are welcome to join the project. Only males have Y-chromosomes, so only male SIMMONS/etc. can participate. If you are female, you can have a male SIMMONS/etc. relative submit a sample for your line. To participate meaningfully, testees will need to share their direct male line ancestry back to the earliest known SIMMONS/etc., in the form of a pedigree chart (excluding living persons).
