Nichols Y-Chromosome Study:
The patrilineages and current results for our participants are shown below. Click on the bold, blue, underlined text, for more genealogical info on each of our participants. Please keep in mind that these genealogies are provided by the participants and therefore any questions regarding their validity and/or specific citations, should be sent to them if they provided an email address. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this page for further details regarding interpreting this results table. We are interested in recruiting anyone with the surname of Nichols, including variants such as Nicholls, Nickels, Nickells, Nickols, McNichols, MacNichol, Nicholas, Nickell, Nicoll, Nicholson, MacNicol, etc. If you have any questions regarding this website or possible participation, please email me, Brian Hamman, at [email protected].

Background info on Y-chromosome testing for genealogy can be found here: http://www.familytreedna.com/dna101.html
Here is the Family Tree DNA version of our Nichols results website that is updated in real time: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Nichols/?iframe=ydnacolor
Click here for a Nichols (and close spelling variants) Y-DNA map of England/Wales or here for a Y-DNA map of Scotland. These maps are numbered based on distinct Y-DNA lines identified from the table shown below that are traced back to specific areas of England/Wales or Scotland. Although we’ve identified nearly 90 different Nichols (and close spelling variants) Y-DNA lines in our project, only 14 have proven descent from a specific area of England/Wales and 5 from Scotland. If you clearly trace your Nichols (or close spelling variant) line to an area not yet represented on these maps, please email me at [email protected]
