An Oak - Oake - Oaks - Oakes - Ochs surname DNA project has been started. The purpose is to find out if people with these surnames (or a variant) share a common ancestor, as well as identifying the different lines and possible points of origin for them.
To actually participate, you must me a male with the Oak (or variant) surname as the Y-chromosome necessary to perform this test is only present in the male and is passed directly from father to sons and grandsons.
