Project Background


WALES/CYMRU DNA PROJECT





Wales_Cymru DNA Project Members:
We have 401 members of of 4 September 2009!
We have 388 members as of 19 August 2009.
We have 362 members as of 09 June 2009.
We have 349 members as of 20 April 2009.
We have 334 members as of 17 March 2009.
We have 253 members as of 26 July 2008.
We have 100 members as of 31 March 2007 (a little over three months after the project was started!)

Due to the importance of determining the genetic profile of the indigenous populations of the British Isles, The Wales/Cymru DNA Project will attempt to collect the DNA haplotypes of as many persons as possible who can trace their Y chromosome and/or mtDNA lines to Wales. The reasoning by many researchers being that there was less genetic replacement from invaders there than elsewhere, excepting small inaccessable islands and similar locales.

Tradition among historians holds that the Celts retreated as far West in Wales as possible to escape invading populations. This project seeks to determine the validity of that theory.

This project is open to descendents who have a direct Y-DNA or direct mtDNA ancestor from anywhere in Wales.

The surname list above is by no means exhaustive! We have included many pre-1066 names, considered to be Celtic or Roman. Afterwards, there was the Norman and of course English influence. From many of the surnames, several variations were derived. If you don't see your surname, please ask us to add it, if your family has a documented history in Wales.

We hope once we have enough members, that there will be a special grouping for the descendants of the Marcher Lords.

To access the DNA results, click on Y-DNA Results or mtDNA Tabs (above left), or click here:

If you have already tested at Family Tree DNA as part of a surname group, it is very easy to join this group. Your results will appear in both places. You can belong to two (or more) projects. There is a button on your personal myFTDNA page to click on to do this. Just request to join Wales_Cymru, and give us a little information about your Welsh ancestor(s). There are no additional fees to join another FTDNA project!

Please Note:


The Wales DNA Project is an independent genealogical research study and receives no grant underwriting. Participants are responsible for the costs of their own tests. The administrators are volunteers and receive no compensation.

The project was organized as a cooperative effort among those who wish to explore genetic testing to advance their knowledge of deep and recent family backgrounds.

NEWS
An effort is underway by a non-profit organization, the Lost Colony of Roanoke DNA Project, to locate the descendants of any surviors. A multi-disciplined attempt is ongoing using historical records, migration patterns, oral histories and the latest scientific archaeological tools of the 21st century, including DNA.

David Beers Quinn, one of the most imminent Lost Colony experts stated in his book, Roanoke Voyages, that some of John White's colonists were Welsh. Those who are interested in comparing DNA results may click here to do so:

Individuals whose maternal or paternal line includes people who might be either Lost Colonists or of native descent from this area of North Carolina are encouraged to join the Lost Colony DNA project at:
