Project Background
This group consists of people who all match significantly on 12, 25, 37 and/or 67 markers. Some of us had our DNA analyzed as early as 2001 and as the years have passed we've been exchanging family histories, comparing genetic notes etc. The group has grown to over 110 folks and things are getting very interesting!
The majority of the group are of Jewish heritage with a cohanim tradition, but the exceptions are significant and very valuable as we work towards our goal of identifying our clan's migrations and divergences over the last 1000 years or so. We have subgroups of Italian, Spanish and French Catholics, Syrian Christians and Nasrani from India, and a few Turks, Muslims etc.!
