The Banat DNA Project welcomes the descendants of the settlers that migrated eastward, primarily in the 1700s, from various former German States and settled lands in the Danube Basin of south-central Europe. These settlers, later referred to as Danube Swabians (or "Donauschwaben" in German), lived in communities which are located today in Hungary, Romania, and countries of the former Federation of Yugoslavia.

Note: In the Requirements section, it states that females can also order a test for themselves, which will be the mtDNA or mtDNAPlus, but they need to look for a mtDNA Geographical Project. We are tracking mtDNA results in the Banat-DNA Project as well, so there is no need to search for an mtDNA Geographical Project.
