We are currently looking for male Zachary (and surname variations) descendants to provide their DNA for this project. Of particular interest are any male descendants of John Zachary (b. Abt 1760 in Virginia) and Katie Blackstone (b. Abt 1779 in Henry County, Virginia). John and Katie are listed at the beginning of an unconnected line in "The Zachary Family Westward from 1680-2000" book authored by Terri A. Zachary Coleman and Beverly Zachary Layton.

Any male Zachary's (or variations) from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would also be welcome to join the project. Autosomal DNA tests show a majority percentage coming from the UK - for example, one project administrator has 56% from FTDNA and 74% from Ancestry.com.
