BLIGH Surname Project Description:
The BLIGH Surname Family Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing. This patrilineal Y-DNA surname study is designed to test the Y-DNA profiles of members of the various BLIGH families found originally in Cornwall and Devon, England, including descendants of 'transplants' to, Canada, Australia, Ireland, the United States, and around the world. The focus of the study includes all variant spelling of BLIGH the families listed below. If your name is on that list, we are most interested in having you participate in our Y-DNA male surname testing program. All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.
Surnames in Project:
Bleigh, BLIGH, Blighe, Bly, Blye, Blyth, Blythe
Requirements:
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.
