About the Project
The Herring Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Herring 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 Herring name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Herring's), by time period (18th Century Herring's), or by topic (Herring DNA, Herring Occupations, Herring 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.

Profile Pages
The following profiles are tagged as participants in the Herring One Name Study.
To place a profile in this category, use the following text and replace the group letter with the correct Y-DNA family group number. See family group number definitions in the section below.
- {{One Name Study| name = Herring| category = Family Group N, Herring Name Study}}
For example, to place a profile in family group j, use:
- {{One Name Study| name = Herring| category = Family Group j, Herring Name Study}}
If the Y-DNA family group letter is not known the use the following text to identify profiles requiring categorization.
- {{One Name Study| name = Herring| category = Herring Name Study}}
Y-DNA Family Groups
Herring Y-DNA is commonly categorized into family group letters defined by the following Family Tree DNA study page. Y-DNA testing helps confirm or deny paternal connections. This research group is administrated by Ronald E. Herring.
- Herring Y-DNA Study Goals. This link provides an overview of the Herring Y-DNA study on Family Tree.
- Family group listings for Y-DNA under Family Tree Herring Family Groups. Visit this link to get a list of other Y-DNA test takers grouped according to their family group letter.
- Herring Big Y tester's direct paternal lineages on a time scale. This is an interesting graph showing Herring ancestors mapped on a timescale. When the page displays, check the Y-DNA family group numbers you want plotted.
Confirmed DNA
When a common ancestor is matched by three or more DNA descendants with supporting research then it has been confirmed by triangulation. Research must support that the match is not through other common ancestors. 30 cM or better is desired for each of the matches. 40 cM or better is recommended. Profiles with confirmed matches that meet this criteria can place the following category at the top of the profile.
- {{One Name Study| name = Herring| category = DNA Confirmations, Herring Name Study}}
