About us

Revised 4/2024


Membership requirements: A FTDNA haplogroup test of some kind

To appreciate the purpose of this project, you should review (click: The New FamilyTreeDNA Help Center - FamilyTreeDNA Blog 

In addition to genealogical matching, Y-DNA testing can also be used to discover the deep ancestry of your direct paternal line. This webinar focuses on Y-DNA haplogroups and how they relate to your deep ancestry. We’ll also discuss the Y-DNA Haplotree, SNPs and subclades.

E-M44 is a male sub-haplogroup of E and is not a surname project.  In almost all M44 men, we have discovered that yDNA STR markers are DYS391=9 and DYS392 = 12.
