Project Background
Please visit our NEW WEBSITE for all Project Lineages and Results, including FTDNA, Ancestry.com, SMGF and Genebase labs at;
worldfamilies.net/surnames/whalen
The Whalen, Whelan, Phelan (O'Faolain) Surname Project is open worldwide to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of family history information and Y-DNA testing. All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it.
The Whalen DNA Project has a Surname Project Forum hosted at dna-forums.org
Results, news and general project info will be posted on this forum.
Project updates are also posted on Message Boards/Mailing lists at Rootsweb and Genforum for Whelan/Whalen/Phelan/Phalen.
We have a O'Faolain DNA Group at Ancestry.com for keeping in contact, posting photos, news, events etc.. O'Faolain DNA Group
Donations for specific research areas
If any member wants to encourage people with known roots in their ancestors region to order a kit please make a donation to our General Fund.
Demolishing those Brickwalls
All family genalogists will hit the proverbial 'brickwall' sooner or later. Many researchers suspect other lines, with the same or similar surnames, could be connected to their tree. Unfortunately there is often no documentary evidence available to prove it. This project will hopefully provide an opportunity to remove some of these 'brickwalls'.
Joining of existing family trees
If you suspect you are related to another family group then why not use Y-DNA testing to prove it. All it takes is 2 tests, one Whalen male from each line, to find out if you have a Y-DNA match. You may prove connections not only to the obvious groups but to others from around the world.
Spreading the cost
If you are concerned about the cost then please bear in mind that you can spread it between your family group. For example, if you have a proven family tree then only one direct descendant male needs to submit a sample. So every member within a group could share the costs. Talk to us nicely and we may make a small donation to your test.
The Ladies
Please don't forget how important the ladies are when it comes to organising things. So whilst it's the Whalen males that supply the Y-DNA it could very well be the ladies that provide the organisational skills necessary to get those men to do the test.
This project is administered by Frances James and Michael Whalen as volunteers. We receive no payment, we do not work for, nor are we associated with Family Tree DNA in anyway, apart from being paying customers, like any other participant of a project.
