Welcome to the Dyess One Name Study

About the Project

The Dyess Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Dyess name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Dyess name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Dyess), by time period (18th Century Dyess), or by topic (Dyess DNA, Dyess Occupations, Dyess Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Once you are ready to go, you can also show your project affiliation with the ONS Member Sticker:

Dyess One Name Study Goals

The objective of this study is to identify all Dyess cousins. The sort out the brickwalls and find solutions.

What You Can Do

1. Work cooperatively together with other Dyess profile managers to create the best Dyess tree possible.
2. Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Dyess profiles.
3. Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for Dyess profiles.
4. Check for duplicates and request merges.
5. Contact Sarah to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge.
6. If you are a male with the Dyess surname or a variant and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA through the Dyess FamilyTreeDNA Project (link below) so that we can all have a better understanding of our heritage and possibly make new discoveries.
