The Gidley family project is for individuals with the surname Gidley and similar names. The haplogroup of our family is R1B and possibly others. Our family is believed to derive its name from the town of Gidleigh in Devonshire England and a possible connection to the Guethle family from their German origins. My traditional paper research suggests that all Gidley's from England share a common ancester. This project can help to prove that and also enable many of us to follow our lines back to Gidleigh in Devonshire. My ancestor Leonard Gidley was born in or near Breage, Cornwall, England, abt 1700. Is he one of your ancestors too? You can follow this link to learn more

A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father’s Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father’s father’s father’s…) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
You can e-mail me directly if you have any questions.
