Description
The NOLAN DNA Project welcomes all participants. Our hope is to break through barriers every genealogical researcher encounters.
NOLAN males should take a Y-DNA test. Men with maternal Nolan lines as well as women without a male relative to test, are encouraged to join. Your autosomal DNA results may be the key to breaking a brick wall in your genealogy or someone else’s in the group. Maybe both!
The plan is to:
* chart the Y Chromosome of each DNA sample submitted
* establish a data base to be used in furthering research
* match individuals and families who share a common Nolan male ancestor
Thank you for your interest and we hope you will contact us if you have any questions. Please read our Background Page for instructions and information.
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.
