| |
| ==The Ross Surname Project aims to identify distinct Ross family lines and extend them using DNA testing and traditional genealogy.==
| |
|
| |
|
| The [[Ross Surname Project at FamilyTreeDNA]] has identified over [[Y-DNA matched groups|40 distinct Ross]] lines using [[Ross Surname Project at FamilyTreeDNA#Current results|Y-DNA test results]] from male Ross descendants. The goal of this project is to use these results, along with results from [[AncestryDNA]], [[23andMe]], and [[MyHeritage]], etc., to sort out the genealogies of each of these Ross families.

| |
| Ross is a surname with a deep history in the British Isles. It is most often associated with [[Fearchar, Earl of Ross|Fearchar Mac an t-Sagairt]], the original [[Earl of Ross]] of his line and patriarch of [[Clan Ross]]. They were a powerful highland family whose descendants married into the family of [[Robert the Bruce]] and [[Robert II of Scotland]]. No project participants have been confirmed as descendants of Fearchar, therefore, his Y-DNA signature remains unknown. A primary goal of the project is the confirmation of his lineage using [[Y-DNA testing]].

| </div>There were also Ros families, including [[Ross of Halkhead]], [[Roos of Helmesley]], and [[Rose of Kilravock]], whose ancestors are thought to have came to southern England with [[William the Conqueror]]. These families are said to take their name from the town of Ros in Normandy. {{Hugh 1st Kilravock}}, was the patriarch of [[Clan Rose]]. Several project participants can trace their lines back to his direct descendant {{Hugh 8th Kilravock}}. Another primary goal of the project is to identify descendants of these other Ros families and confirm their connection to the Kilravock descendants.

| DNA testing tells us nothing without reliable, well-sourced family trees. Many trees posted to the internet connect back to the original Earls of Ross, even though [[Fearchar, Earl of Ross#DNA results|Y-DNA results]] are telling us that descendants in these trees are not a match to each other. This requires us to take a fresh look at these trees by returning to the original documents. Therefore, an additional goal of this project is to collect & document all the original source material that was used to construct these trees before they were uploaded to the internet and the source citations were lost. Taking a second look at these trees might give us the opportunity to identify previously unidentified family connections and connect back even further to previous generations.
