Description:

Any male with the name Oakley or any of its variants, is encouraged to participate in this study.

Surnames in Project:

Oakeley, Oakley, Oakly, Okley

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-DNA25, or Y-DNA37 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.

I am particularly interested in this project but so far have not come across any OXLADE males who share this interest. The concept was brought to my attention a few years ago by Robert Allan OXLADE but I was busy with other things and didn't give it my full attention.

I am including it on this Site in the hope that it may generate some interest.

The OAKLEY Surname Project has no connection with the OXLADE Family History Group and my use of their information is as an example only.

That said, I chose their example as I have always wondered if there was a connection between the two surnames. To my knowledge, no-one with OAKLEY connections has to date indicated that they see any merit in this proposition.

Family Tree DNA Projects

You can order a test and join a project according to the following categories:

Males can join:

• A Surname Project that research individuals that have the same surname or a variant. Joining a Surname Project could be very helpful to verify relationships with individuals that share a similar surname.

• One Y-DNA Geographical Project to verify a possible point of origin for the paternal line.

Females and Males can join:

• One mtDNA Lineage Project that research individuals that have or suspect having the same maternal line.

• One mtDNA Geographical Project to verify a possible point of origin for the maternal line.

Family Tree DNA SURNAME, LINEAGE and GEOGRAPHICAL PROGRAMS

Many people have asked about using Family Tree DNA’s services as a tool for Surname, Lineage and Geographical projects.

We perform this service all the time and have established a protocol that allows us to transfer the routine data management tasks to you and, thereby, reduce the cost of the testing.

You may either join a project in progress, or start a new one. To start a new project, follow the instructions below.

Here are the elements necessary to start a project:

We understand that there are situations when a project could and should be started with any number of members, and we are flexible to accommodate those situations. You are welcome to e-mail us with your questions about starting a Project with any number of participants.

Choose a Group Administrator who will handle the data management of your Project. The Group Administrator will be Family Tree DNA's direct link to your project.

The Group Administrator will have access to a secure page where your project's status is updated daily. Family Tree DNA will distribute legal release forms allowing for the sharing of the test results with the Group Administrator. Test kits and payments may be submitted individually or as a group to FTDNA for processing.

Test results will be returned to the Group Administrator as they are received by the office. Each participant will also receive a certificate and report containing their personal test results. The staff of FTDNA will help you interpret the meaning of your test results.

FTDNA will consult with you on the minimum number of test takers you will need to reconstruct your family tree depending upon how many branches of your family will participate in the project.

To receive more information about how to start your own Surname or Lineage project or a Geographical based Project, please e-mail to DNA Projects.
