Project Background:
Set up on July 29, 2005. The South Central Kentucky Surname DNA Project was created to allow folks whose families have roots in that region to compare Y-DNA and mtDNA haplotypes and haplogroups. Surname changes, unrecorded adoptions, and other non-paternity events often raise many questions. It is hoped that by allowing individuals to compare their DNA signatures, or haplotypes, outside of a surname project will provide clues as to family origins, as well as allowing participation at minimal cost for folks for this region whose names are not yet established as surname projects. It is also hoped that the testing of mtDNA will allow for maternal line comparisons, something which is more appropriate to a geographic group than to a surname-oriented project.

Counties included are: Adair, Barren, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Hart, Lincoln, Monroe, Pulaski, Russell, and Wayne.
