Description

A genealogia e a genética brasileira são das mais diversificadas no mundo, caracterizadas pela pluralidade e heterogeneidade nas suas origens e misturas. O Brasil ocupa metade da América do Sul e apresenta extensa riqueza Ameríndia, compatível com o seu território, espalhada desde grupos ainda não contatados ou miscigenada em todas as localidades e esferas sociais, desde os Tibiriçás, Caramurus e Arcoverdes. Os estudos genealógicos apresentam uma riqueza documental muito grande e um imenso acervo sobre a colonização e o povoamento do Brasil. A Genealogia Paulistana, o Catálogo Genealógico da Bahia, a Nobiliarquia Pernambucana, as Primeiras Famílias do Rio de Janeiro, a Genealogia Mineira, A Genealogia Paranaense, a Genealogia Riograndense e muitas outras obras e pesquisas regionais formam impressionante manancial demográfico e genealógico. Colonos do Minho, dos Açores, das mais diferentes regiões portuguesas e dos mais diferentes setores sociais multiplicaram-se ao longo da história no país. Colonos de todos os segmentos sociais e religiosos formaram o Brasil, da alta nobreza aos cristãos novos, de burocratas aos ciganos, toda a sociedade portuguesa ibérica se fez representar na sua variedade na construção da sociedade brasileira. O Brasil foi a sociedade americana que mais recebeu africanos ao longo de vários séculos, presentes e miscigenados em todos os grupos sociais e regiões do país. A partir do século XIX o Brasil recebe importantes contingentes de imigrantes Europeus e Asiáticos, a complementar o rico mosaico populacional brasileiro. Obras sobre a importante imigração suíça, alemã, italiana, espanhola, polonesa, ucraniana, judaica, sírio-libanesa, japonesa e muitas outras enriquecem a genealogia e genética do Brasil. Agora a demografia e a genealogia tem mais uma técnica de pesquisa fundamental - a genética. A análise dos cromossomos oferece um novíssimo instrumental de investigação à reconstituir os itinerários do passado e mostrar a verdadeira face genética do povo brasileiro ao longo de séculos de encontros e misturas entre todos os componentes da história nacional. O Projeto Brasil é uma janela para esse mundo da genealogia genética brasileira e contamos com a sua participação para revelarmos a nossa gente brasileira em suas caras e raízes.

Requirements

A Geographic Project connects individuals who believe their direct line comes from a specific location. The Dual Geographic Projects are for individuals who order an mtDNA or Y-DNA test. Either their direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother's...) or direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) originates from this area.

  • Provides your deep ancestral origins.
  • Uncovers new branches (SNPs) on the paternal tree.
  • Find recent branches (SNPs) unique to your direct paternal line, your family, or you.
  • 10 million base-pair coverage.
  • Nearly 25,000 known SNPs tested.
  • We store your DNA for free, so that you can upgrade the tests in the future.
  • NO subscription fee.
  • Includes STR results from Y37, Y67, and Y111.
Y-DNA111

  • For men only.
  • Highest level of Y-DNA tests.
  • 111-marker matches are highly likely to be related within the past 4 generations.*
  • Provides genealogically relevant matches and recent ancestral origins.
  • Recommended for confirming a genealogical relationship with another male.
  • Provides your Haplogroup: deep ancestral origin of the paternal line.
  • We store your DNA for free so that you can upgrade the tests in the future
  • NO subscription fees
Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. With the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest chance of finding close relatives by testing with us. However, if your paternal line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information right away. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

*Estimated for exact 111 marker matches, at a 95% confidence level.

  • For men or women.
  • Autosomal DNA test.***
  • Matches are related within about the last 5 generations.*
  • Provides percentages of your ancestral make-up (Native-American, Middle Eastern (including Jewish), African, West and East European)**
  • Recommended for genealogists.
  • Includes matches with predicted relationship ranges.
  • Great for confirming close relationships regardless of gender.****
* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about new close matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.

*** Family Finder has a test specific policy for failed samples and retesting. Please read the policy carefully.

****Please note, Family Finder does not provide Y-DNA or mtDNA haplogroup information.
