Welcome to

The Groves Y-DNA Genealogy Home Page


NOTICE: This page is a work in progress and will change frequently.

The primary goal of the project is to group many of the lines in America in the late 1700s-early 1800s and perhaps associate them with men who had come from the British Isles and Europe.

The success of the larger purpose of this project will only be attained if we can attract a large set of participants whose Groves lines are reasonably well documented. I urge you to contact any/all Groves researchers you've had contact with and refer them to this page and/or to me.



DISCLAIMER: I have no connection with or financial interest in any company selected to conduct the Y-DNA testing.

Understanding the results of Y-DNA testing within the context of genealogy is not easy because it involves a knowledge of both genetics and statistics that most of us don't have. Fortunately, there are folks out there who understand both and are genealogists as well. The best of both worlds! Immediately below are URLs where you can find more information than you want or need. I would urge that you visit these sites and read a little. Please *don't* be intimidated by all the jargon and details. I'd suggest that you go to the tutorial site first. Read as much as you can and then scroll down to see the results to date for the Groves Project.

As results for the Kits arrive, they are compared to the others and a color is assigned. Each distinctly different Groves line will be a different color. Markers within a family group that differ from the rest are high-lighted. Traditional genealogical research must be used to identify that common ancestor.

We now have 2 participants with 2 kits returned for analysis. Current test results are shown shown here.
