The Munday surname study (and its variants of Monday, Mundy, and Mundie) is covered by this page in the wiki structure. Currently, there are numerous identified and distinct sub-groups within the study. More may come as the project grows in popularity and scope. As it grows, the surname study should get a full site all to its own. But for now, we will add it as a sub-section until and when they spin-out independently. We created a FTDNA project for them already, as linked to below.
Subgroups being developed at the current time are in the table below. This was a single page named O03 with new subgroups added using letter designations after that cryptic page name. We have since renamed the root page here to be Munday and use Mnn for the Munday Surname Project EKA / Branch designations. The old, original naming is given in parenthesis after the new in the table below. Both new and old names can be used to get to a branch subpage; if it exists.
This project originally started due to the many Mundays who traced their surname back to colonial Virginia but no further. Ends up, they were mostly yDNA matching to the previous O01 John Hord of Shady Grove, VA group (that, in turn, are matching to Malcolms' Hoare's of Gloucester). We have since formally moved the O01 John Hord of Shady Grove, VA group to an active, formal study: B05 John Hord of Shady Grove, VA. And created a new, joint study page B09 Colonial Virginia to handle these and other close matches from the geographic area but with varied surnames. As other non-matching Munday's have joined, we are slowly splitting this out into its own, separate surname study (as the original are likely just a very old NPE line from 1700's colonial Virginia).
If one of the branches above is of interest, we can put you in touch with the researcher there. Many have not even Y DNA tested as of yet. But as they do, will be joined to the Munday Surname Study at FamilyTreeDNA for analysis there.

| Code | EKA | Description |
| B14 | Isaac Monday, b1739abt Essex County, Virginia | Additional downstream surnames of Carver and Cox of Colonial Virginia and North Carolina. An early colonial Munday origin that yDNA has shown is a biological derivative from the John Hord of Shady Grove line B06 and Robert Hore of Gloucester B08. This group started the Munday surname study on this site and caused the creation of the FTDNA Munday Surname Project. See the B14 subpage for the latest, correct information. |
| M01 (O03a) | Robert Monday b 1720 and d 1789, Essex County, VA haplogroup G-BY181157 | Three closely related yDNA testers. Although in close proximity in time and location to B14, the haplogroup here is quite different. An NPE out of the existing B14 group or an original with the surname line from England (as the others are likely NPE from John Hord)? Robert had a son William (1743-1814) who had two sons: Joshua (1780-1843) and John (1775-1850). Descendants of two different sons of Joshua have tested and match closely. A descendant of John has tested and is not a match. They appear to likely be an NPE from a Kays / Keys surname line. |
| M02 (O03b) | Arthur Monday b 1680abt Maryland | Two autosomal DNA matches of Monday descent testers. Need male member to yDNA test yet. |
| M03 (O03c) | Thomas Munday b1647bef of Hampshire, England | Possible ancestor to the one Autosomal tested member here (who was born Munday); awaiting yDNA testing) |
| M04 (O03d) M09 (O03i) | Thomas Munday, 1791-1842, Mentmore, Bucks, England Homer Mundy, b1892 Missouri | Based on 3 BigY-700 and 1 Bigy-500; along with a number of y111 STR tests under the belt; this group continues to defy conventional wisdom of DNA study. Additionally, beside the two "Bennett" members here, there is now appearing a "Fox" with the same close tie-in. More analysis of the newly added FTxxx differentiating SNPs needs to be made. |
| M05 (O03e) | Edward Munday, b1782, Hampshire, England | Autosomal test only to date; mother is a Munday. Have not found male tester yet. |
| M06 (O03f) | Nicholas Mundy b1642 England / New Jersey | See the M06 subpage for the most information on this group. |
| M07 (O03g) | William Munday b1765 Virginia, d1815 Kentucky | Active tester and researcher awaiting matches while scouring for additional testers |
| M08 (O03h) | Joseph Mundy b1707 Hursley, Hampshire, England | Single tester looking for additional matches |
| M10 (O03j) | William Monday, VA | Two matching testers that need to test deeper. EKA back into Colonial Virginia. |
| M11 (O03k) | Reuben Mundy, d1856 GA | Early stages of researchers starting to embrace DNA testing and look for a patriline tester. Reuben Mundy b1777, d1865 in Fayette (now Clayton) County, GA |
| M12 (O03l) | Henry Mundy, b1755 NC | Based on the y111 test and matches with other y111 and BigY testers, it is looking like this is an NPE from the Musgrave surname and a sub-group in that surname study. |
| M13 (O03m) | Stephen Munday, b1735, Essex County, Colonial Virginia | Possible father is Joseph Munday) |
| M14 (O03n) | Joseph Monday, b1797, Bristol, Gloucestershire | Need more Y DNA testing and Autosomal matching to determine. |
| M15 | William Munday Sr, b1750circa, d.1833 Iredell Cty, NC | Need Y DNA testing; multiple researchers with one identified tester. Testing may cause the origin to be part of the one of the earlier lines; like B14 in Northern Virginia. See Wikitree and BillyKey for current documentation on the EKA William Munday Sr. |
