Description
The Irwin Clan Surname Project welcomes all male adults bearing surnames sounding like Irvin, Irvine, Irving or Irwin who have taken a Y-DNA test (and men with other surnames whose genetic signature matches an Irwin, and women who can persuade a male Irwin relative to take a Y-DNA test). Its sister project, the Clan Irwin Surname DNA Study (see www.clanirwin-dna.org) analyses all Irwin Y-DNA test results, helps members to understand their test results and their relationships with other Irwins, and advises on further DNA testing. Since the Project and Study were founded in 2005 nearly 50 branches of the surname have been identified. The Study respects all privacy concerns and is recognised as a world leader in Surname BigY testing.

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
