Description
The HARRIS surname DNA study is an ongoing project open to any male descendant with the HARRIS surname or variant spellings (Aris, Arras, Haris, Harries, Harris, Harriss, Harry, Harrys, Heriz, Herrice, Herries, Herry, etc.). Family Finder submitters who have Harris ancestors are also welcome to join.
The Harris Welcome Page is found here (which also includes links to individual pages that map out lineages of the various Harris groupings that have been charted):
WELCOME TO THE HARRIS Y-DNA PROJECT
Our objective is to match up individuals or families who share a common male ancestor with the Harris surname. Current participants' Y-DNA results can be viewed at the FTDNA Harris Y-DNA results pages (with accompanying outlines of each Harris Group linked at this bottom of this page):

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
