Only males bearing one of the following surnames can provide relevant Y-DNA information for this project, since only males carry the Y chromosome that follows the surname and reveals its past:
Bowes, Bowe, Bows, Bow, Boe, de Bowes, Bohig, Boyes, Bwee, Boey, Bowige, Boye, Bwoy, Boetius, Bohill, Buo, Booe, Boase, Boaz, Boes, Bowz, Boewe, Buoy
If you have another surname you think should be included, please contact me before joining.
Sometimes finding a male to establish a lineage's Y-DNA markers involves finding a distant relative, such as a cousin, uncle or nephew, who is willing to test. Whatever it takes to be sure it is a male bearing one of the surnames above and you can be in our project!
