| Beara to Butte | 117 | The Beara to Butte DNA project at FamilyTreeDNA.com is free to join and open to anyone who has done any kind of DNA test (autosomal, YDNA, XDNA, MtDNA) from Ancestry, 23andMe, MyHeritage, or FamilyTreeDNA with ancestors from the Beara peninsula of Ireland or Butte Montana in the United States of America.
The Beara peninsula is located in the far Southwest corner of the Republic of Ireland at the border of Counties Kerry and Cork. There were several mining operations around Beara in the early 1800’s. When many of the mines began to close because they ran out of ore, along with the Great Famine in the 1840’s, many of the miners of the Beara peninsula emigrated to Butte Montana in the United States for prospective mining work.
The goals of this project are to connect people with Butte Montana ancestors to their Beara peninsula ancestors and to help connect Beara descendants ancestors together with DNA to break most peoples 1800’s genealogy brick wall.
To join this exciting project if you have tested or transferred DNA at FamilyTreeDNA or would like to purchase a DNA test at FamilyTreeDNA just click “Join” at the top right of the project homepage: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/bearato-butte/about and follow the instructions.
You can also upload/transfer an autosomal DNA test from a 3rd party like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, or MyHeritage to FamilyTreeDNA. Go to FamilytreeDNA.com and at the top click “Upload DNA Data” then “Autosomal DNA” then follow the instructions to make an account. Sign into your account and click on the red “Add Ons and Upgrades” button at the top. Scroll down and click Transfer Now next to Autosomal Transfer and then click “Already have a FamilyTreeDNA account? Sign In.” Login to your account again and a window will pop up that says “Select your transfer type:”. If you select MyHeritage it will give you a link to login to the MyHeritage website and all you have to do is click the authorize button and Transfer DNA data button. If you choose the 23andMe / AncestryDNA transfer type you must first download your autosomal DNA results from 23andMe or AncestryDNA. Then you either drag and drop the zipped file onto this screen or click the blue “browse for your file” link and select the zipped file on your computer.
To download your DNA data from Ancestry according to their support page: “Download your DNA Data by signing into your account and clicking the DNA tab. From your DNA homepage, click "Settings" in the top-right corner. Select a test. Then, scroll to the Download DNA Data section and click "Download." Follow the directions you find there.
To download your DNA data from 23andME according to their customer care page: “To download your raw data, click on the Download Tab from within the top navigation bar within the Browse Raw Data feature and scroll down until you see the "Submit request" button. You will receive an email to the email address associated with your 23andMe account when your raw data download file is ready. Typically, files are ready within 1 hour.”

| Montagne | 65 | The purpose of the MONTAGNE surname project is to study the DNA of the descendants of Dr. Johannes (Jean) Mousnier de la Montagne. We hope to identify the distinctive genetic patterns for each branch of the MONTAGNE family. We are excited about the possibilities of learning more about our deeper genetic past. Finally, we hope to make more discoveries about both the ancestors and the descendants of Dr. Jean Mousnier de la Montagne (1595-1670), Huguenot physician of New Amsterdam and Vice Director of the Colony of New Netherland (today known as New York). |
