Project Background:
Project History:

The Scandinavian Y-DNA Project was initiated in Stockholm in September 2003 by Carl Johan Swaerdenheim. He wished to introduce and propagate the use of genetic testing as a new and complementary tool to traditional methods of family research.


Background:

The project shall includes anyone who can trace their history to the Scandinavian region. This is a sub-area of Northern Europe that includes Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. For historical reasons Iceland and Finland are included. All ethnic groups are welcome.

Project Goals:
  • Create a home for all with yDNA from Scandinavia.

    • All members enjoy the FTDNA Group Discounts.

    • Members are compared to others from the same area regardless of current surname.

  • Improve members' understanding of the genetic geographical distribution and migration patterns in Scandinavia.

    • Create a yDNA database of Scandinavian origins at the genealogical level.

    • Encourage members to test at least 25 markers. 67 markers is preferred.


Project News:
  • The Scandinavian Y-DNA Project is initiated in Stockholm. {September 2003}

  • The Project Manager addressed the Jewish and Kurdish student societies at the Stockholm university. {autumn 2004}

  • Americans of Scandinavian descent are joining the project. {December 2004}

  • The Project Manager {previous} will address the Conservative student society at the Stockholm university. {spring 2005}

  • The Scandinavian Y-DNA Project will get a proper website {September 2005}

  • Work to return the project to full operational status begins. {January 2007}

DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members

* 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. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
