Description
Anyone with the McGUIRK / McGURK y-dna surname and it’s variants, or those who have family dna that matches the name. Thanks to Admin T McG, the Group has evolved into a mapping project set to find the name’’s origins. Combining the Group’s impressive amount of Big Y upgrades with their oldest ancestor history, until the origin of the name is found, it’s interesting to see the origins of the later sub groups.
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.
