Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Goals: Determine family history connections world wide and surname geographic location of origin. DNA testing can confirm recent faimily histories, as well as ancient historical beginnings. Why not let let DNA testing for genealogy purposes take you and your family on a Family History Trip of a Life Time, without even leaving home!
The goal of the project is the following:
* Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors
* Solve brick walls in our research
* Determine a location for further research
* Validate existing research
Surname project pricing for tests is available at a reduced rate rather than private test costs.
How many to test? 12, 37, 67 markers?

Triangulation - A method of determining the Ancestral Haplotype from the haplotype data of known direct line descendants. In Genetic Genealogy, the process of determining the Y chromosome DNA Ancestral Haplotype of a male ancestor by looking at the allele values of the DYS markers in the haplotypes of the tested individuals in a surname project who descend from that ancestor by focusing specifically on the direct paternal line descendants of two or more known and different sons of the common male ancestor. Unless there is an exact match at all alleles at all DYS markers in the haplotypes of the two different direct male lines of descendants, at least three haplotypes are required to triangulate and deduce the ancestral allele for each marker. A typical descendant chart looks like a triangle with the ancestor at the apex. This is why we need multiple testers from these lines to make this determination.
Genealogical DNA Testing Myths
Myth #1: Do we need to dig up our ancestors to get their DNA?
No! Their DNA is contained within your DNA, to some extent. For males, the Y-chromosome is passed from father to son on down through the generations. Males and females also receive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from their mothers, which also contains the DNA of their direct maternal line. However, only females will pass mtDNA on to their children.
Myth #2: Is the DNA collected by a blood test?
No. Commercial DNA testing companies utilize saliva/buccal cell sampling via swabs and various other collection containers.
Myth #3: Can an insurance company or court subpoena my DNA test to use against me for insurance or legal purposes?
No, and there’s several reasons why:
- For a court to obtain your DNA, they may request your medical records, to access the labs where you have taken blood tests. Or, they would order you to take a DNA test through a specified facility.
- Your genealogical DNA test is not in a "controlled chain of custody" meaning that because it is sent through the mail, it is handled by people out of the control of testing company and lab.
- The types of DNA used for genetic genealogical testing cannot be used to identify you. Why? If you are a male, your brother, your father, your grandfather, all have the same Y-chromosome as you and an individual cannot be singularly identified using the Y-chromosome. A well-known example of this is that Thomas Jefferson cannot be ascertained as the father of Sally Hemmings’ children since other Jefferson males share the same Y-chromosome. The same also applies to mitochondrial DNA; you receive it from your mother, and all of your siblings have it, so it cannot be used to individually identify you.
Myth #4: Do my DNA results reveal any medical conditions?
The section of the Y-chromosome used for genealogical DNA testing is non-coding DNA, in that it does not recombine (mix) or have any known uses other than to fill the spaces in between your genes. However, because this DNA does not mix, and it changes very slowly (mutates) it’s beneficial for use in genealogical applications. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Whether in imitation of the Norman lords, or from the great convenience of distinction, the use of fixed surnames arose in France about the year 1000; came into England sixty years later, or with the Norman Conquest; and reached Scotland, about the year 1100.
Origin of Surnames
Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual’s personal page.
1.(Kit 52277) Pennsylvania O’Dair test completed 1-June-2006. Oldest known relative, James O’Dair born between 1755-1760 unknown origin, died between 1830-1840 in Pennsylvania. Specific Haplogroup Identified with deep snp test as E1b1b1a1* V12+ for this family. This is the V12+ map location. The E3b Haplogroup type represents about 2.5% of the population in the British Isles and 0.5% in Ireland. The O’Dair name was known to exist in Mid-Ulster region in Ireland between 1550-1700. Based on best known information to date, the haplotype is northeastern Egypt in origin, with a haplotype age of 15.2ky with a deviation from 18.0ky to 12.5ky. The origination point center of diffusion for V12+ is located in the area of the ancient cities of Abydos and Luxor (Ancient city of Thebes) in Egypt on the Nile river. It most likely arrived in the European gene pool via south central Europe in the Mediterranean or Iberia from north Africa. Time Most Recent Common Ancestor for ancient ancestry with historical migration theory.

Y DNA HAPLOGROUP TYPES IN THE PROJECT
Haplogroup Definition: A genetic population group associated with early human migrations and which can today be associated with a geographic region. It is important to note that even though female and male haplogroups may have the same letters, their definitions are different.
Haplogroups represent the clustering of certain haplotypes together into lineages determined by mutations tested in the SNP test. These are all mutations of the Y chromosome that have occurred just once in human genetic history. All male descendants of these individuals bear the same mutation and all are descended from the same common male ancestor. Another use of haplogroups is to identify possible genetic sources for ancient cultures and migrations, although admixtures of types are common within any ethnic group. Within each haplogroup there are further divisions called "subclades." Haplogroups are "branches" of the Y chromosome tree, whereas subclades represent "twigs" on those branches.

R1B1 HAPLOGROUP
R1b1 Haplogroup R1b1 is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. It was concentrated in refugia in southern Europe and Iberia. It is especially common in the west of Ireland where it approaches 100% of the population. This haplogroup contains the Atlantic modal STR haplotype.
