The project continues. February 18/ 2017.   As of February 2017 there were 338 individuals who have been tested their DNA as part of this study.
We have a Facebook Page

The May DNA project continues.    I have made new charts based on more information. We have 313 May surnamed participants.
We have identified 30 unrelated May families as of Dec 30 2015 and about 60 single tests.

This is the May DNA project web page.

Let's start

About MAY families and DNA . For several years, I have been involved in what became a pretty large project.    Myself and other MAY started a Genealogical DNA project.        http://www.richmark.com/q/maytree/May-Reconstruction.html Toda y, as I start this Blog, we have 264 with the last name MAY or a variant  MAYE, MAYS, MEY,  participating in our project.      I been aware, if you visit the website, it seems to have so much information and navigating though all numbers and descriptions of May families feels complicated. Below you will find a chart, based on the information provided, of the Origin of the earlier MAY ancestor of each DNA family. And a Phylogenetic tree of R1b (the largest May haplogroup) at 25 markers.    In 2006, I decided to organize all the information, and created a sort of Index cards for every MAY DNA family based on their unique DNA signatures, and group the p...

11 haplotype "I" May families

MAY surnamed DNA families Haplotype "I" This blog post has 23 pages The second largest Haplotype group in our MAY DNA project, is "I" This Haplotype, as the MAY "R1b" is also quite common in Europe.    Specially on the Scandinavian and German areas.      And in the east coast of both the Irish and British islands.  Likely to the invasions from that side of Europe. In England is found frequently in areas that were under the Danelaw.   The distribution of Haplotypes on May surname is as follows: I personally tested my DNA, with Family tree DNA ...and the results are from them. However, I also tested with Oxford Ancestors and Sorenson Genealogical Genetics.  There I found a few more May surnamed DNA that I included. http://www.smgf.org/pages/ydatabase.jspx Besides the fact that some of the DNA markers are different There is no way to comunicate with them, however, if you visit smgf website, their results are linke...

MAY DNA families 52-34-11-99-4A-44-19-63-66-3-88-87-97-18-28-8

16 MAY surnamed families with R1b DNA Through DNA we have identified 40+ May surnamed Families.    Of these, 20 are Haplogroup R1b.   (there is a chart in previous blog post) The index cards, for this May families 16 are listed in here and 4 in the previous blog post Just to give a perspective.    R1b haplogroup, is quite common on the Atlantic area of Europe.  It was found from what today is Spain, France, up to the British Isles.    And from there, to the center of the continent...up to Germany and Switzerland.       In areas as the West of Ireland and West of England and Scotland, is up to 98% of todays population.      Now days, the test is able to identify more branches and R1b is sort of a  general group who are the descendants of a very distant Ancestor. The Family number All May surnamed participants on the MAY DNA project are assigned a number, as they joined.    I am...
