Description
The Magellan Surname Project invites researchers to find their common heritage through sharing information and DNA testing. All Magalhães, Magellan, Magallanes, Magalhas, Magalhayes, Magalhes, Magali, Magalli, Magalocci, Magalotti, or any variation thereof, men who have fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers back to your oldest known great grandfather with the same last name Magellan (or any variation thereof) are eligible to join the Magellan Surname project. Men from anywhere in the world may join our project.
All DNA marker values may be added to YSEARCH.ORG to facilitate finding related Magellan cousins.
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.
