Italy DNA Project

Project Background


The Italy DNA Project serves as an important resource to anyone of Italian heritage who is researching their family's history using genetic testing.

This project to open to all direct descendants of an Italian man or woman. We accept and welcome both Y-DNA and mtDNA test results.

Project Goals:
The first goal of the Italy DNA Project is to help its members verify and extend their family trees. By accumulating genealogical data and DNA haplotypes, we hope to assist our members in expanding their understanding of their Italian roots.

The second goal of the Italy DNA Project to further our understanding of the genetic makeup and genetic history of what is now Italy. By combining our resources, we hope to make sense of the historical impact of population migrations and expansions.

Helping us to accomplish these goals is the new Italy DNA Project blog. We update it as often as we can with information that we think will be interesting and relevant to our participants.

In addition to The Italy DNA Project, there are a number of independently managed regional and provincial Italian DNA projects as well. Please contact the Administrators of these projects for more information.
