Description

The Ireland Y-DNA Project welcomes males who have done or who intend to do a yDNA test and who also have Irish ancestry on their own paternal line. This includes yDNA Genographic participants as well.

We do ask you to check first to see if there is a surname project for your surname and if so, we ask you join it as a priority. Perhaps, you would consider setting up a surname project for your surname if none exists?

Below is a sample of surnames. Very many Irish Surnames now have their own surname project where you will find more details relating to a specific surname.


We encourage you to look at our Ireland yDNA Project has a website: http://homepage.eircom.net/~ihdp/ihdp/index.htm which has a lot of information relevant to Irish yDNA ancestry.

If you have questions, please contact one of the Co-administrators listed below:

Requirements

A Geographic Project connects individuals who believe their direct line comes from a specific location. Y-DNA Geographic Projects are for males only as only males can take the Y-DNA test. This project is for males who have ordered a Y-DNA test and whose direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) originates from this area. Females whose direct paternal line originates from this area can have a male relative test for this project or they can look into the mtDNA tests and mtDNA projects.

MALE LINE TESTING - FOR GENEALOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
Y-DNA12
More info...
Order Now

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of twelve Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. Additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related. It is used to affirm or disprove a genealogical connection on the direct paternal line. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of twelve marker matches.

Y-DNA25

This is a male specific test. It includes a balanced panel of twenty-five Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related. It is used to affirm or disprove a genealogical connection on the direct paternal line. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of twenty-five marker matches.

Y-DNA37

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of thirty-seven Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. This is the recommended test to trace the paternal ancestry of males for genealogy purposes. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related and eliminate unrelated matches. A perfect match at thirty-seven markers indicates the two individuals share common ancestry in recent times. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of thirty-seven marker matches.

Y-DNA67
More info...
Order Now

This is a male specific test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the paternal line. It includes a balanced panel of sixty-seven Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat, STR, markers. The additional markers refine the predicted time period in which two individuals are related and eliminate unrelated matches. A perfect match at sixty-seven markers indicates a common ancestor in very recent times. This is the ideal test for matching if a break in the paper trail, such as an adoption, is known or suspected. A haplogroup is determined and backed by our SNP Assurance Program. When another person shows identical results within our database, if both parties have signed the Family Tree DNA Release Form, then we will inform them of the match. The customer will also receive a certificate and report describing the testing process and the meaning of sixty-seven marker matches.
