Description

The purpose of the Leonard Surname Project is to provide a public forum to support the genealogical research and interests of members with Leonard (Lennard, Linnard, Linnane, Mag Leannáin etc.) ancestries, a public site where members share and compare their Y-DNA test results, ancestry information and family trees with other members who join this public project. The project is not intended for medical or any related purposes. By joining the project, you agree that your Y-DNA haplogroup, STR and SNP results and early ancestor information will be visible to project members. Our project is set so Mitochondrial DNA test results are only visible to project members. Autosomal DNA results are not visible to the public. Project members are expected to post earliest known ancestry information that has been verified through historical records. Project administrators may recommend edits or removal of information that lacks historical verification or is based upon speculative family trees posted by others. This is to avoid others from adopting what may erroneous information. Project Administrators and Assistants are not FTDNA employees, they are genetic genealogy volunteers. They do not receive any form of financial payment or any other incentive or reimbursement for their work. Project administrators are responsible for the content on the project websites. Organization of DNA kits into subgroups and naming of those groups is done by project administrators after analyzing the comparative results. Placement of DNA kits within the subgroups is dictated by FTDNA STR mutation programming and cannot be altered by project administrators. Project administrators have indicated the primary haplogroup branch and SNPs in the subgroup titles, where applicable, and have activated the SNP RESULTS display page.

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.
