==Status summary==
===Completed as of April 7, 2026 ===
* Recruiting patrilineal (all male-line) descendants of Edward May for NGS/WGS testing. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should [[Read me First|<big>'''Read me First'''</big>]]

<big>'''IMPORTANT: [[Read me First|Read me First'''</big>]]

===Still to do as of April 14, 2026===
* NGS/WGS test multiple Edward May direct paternal (Y-DNA) descendants to firmly place family clade as well as discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/May?iframe=ydna-results-overview May surname DNA Project] currently does not list anyone claiming Edward Ray as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA).

===NGS/WGS testing===
NGS/WGS testing of patrilineal (direct male line Y-DNA descendants) would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants. Anyone who believe they are Y-DNA descendants of Edward May is encouraged to Y-DNA test and email: MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com
