Announcement: A “Biby-Bibee-Bybee” Surname project has just been created at FamilyTreeDNA for determining the Y-DNA signatures of males named Biby, Bibee and Bybee and other variations who came to Colonial America (some who came to Virginia), in the 1600s or early 1700s. We are also attempting to determine the ancestral families for the Biby, Bibee and Bybee immigrants from the British Isles or elsewhere, to the English colonies, past and present.
You must be a male donor to participate in this Y-DNA Project.
Anyone interested in participating in the Biby-Bibee-Bybee Project can find more information on the new website:
www.familytreedna.com/public/BibyDNA/ If you want to join, click on the tab called "Join Request" and follow the instructions.
FamilyTreeDNA has a Y-DNA sale going on now. The sale ends 7/26/2013.
Male descendants of the following Virginia-born Biby-Bibee-Bybee-Bibey males are especially important to this project:
John Bybee b. c1735-1821; Thomas Bibee b. c1734-1834; David Bybee b. c1735-1815; Edward Bybee b. c1750-1832; Pleasant Bybee b. 1758 d. 1835; Thomas Biby b. 1760 d. c1806; Samuel Bybee b. c1764;
Peter Bibee b. c1750.
