Alabama Fever DNA Pr | 953 |
If your ancestor settled in or passed through North or Central Alabama during the early 1800’s this is the project for you!
Alabama Fever was the great land rush that occurred as early settlers moved in to establish land claims in Alabama as Native American tribes ceded territory. It came to be characterized as a movement of farmers and their slaves ever further west to new slave states and territories in the pursuit of fertile land for growing cotton. It was one of the first great American land booms until superseded by the California Gold Rush in 1848. The term "Alabama Fever" was used as early as 1817, during the Alabama Territory period. Prior to the formation of the Alabama Territory, this land had been part of the Mississippi Territory. In 1819, Alabama became a state. During this time period, early pioneers struck with the "Alabama Fever" came pouring in from the states of Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Alabama's population swelled from approximately 9,000 in 1810 to over 145,000 in 1820 and by 1830 the population had exploded to more than 300,000 people.
Many of the earliest settlers of Alabama had been soldiers in the War of 1812 and the Creek Indian War (1813-1814). Many of the early pioneers from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia made their way into Alabama through the former Cherokee lands while many of the early pioneers from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee made their way into Alabama by way of "Bear Meat Cabin Road" which as part of an early Native American trail known as the Great Tennessee Trail. The original trail extended from Tennessee through North & Central Alabama to Tuscaloosa, and was named for a popular junction in Blount County, Alabama, that had been the home of Chief Bear Meat. By 1817, great numbers of people had settled up and down this road, and it was surveyed, extended southward, and renamed "St. Stephens-Huntsville Road" or "The Old Huntsville Road," becoming an important federal trade route through the Alabama Territory in 1818 during the great Alabama Fever land rush. Parts of this road still exists today as US Highway 231, Alabama State Highway 79, Alabama State Highway 75, and Alabama State Highway 69.
Our project is a Y-DNA, mtDNA and Family Finder Autosomal DNA endeavor with the focus being to trace the origins of the various families whose ancestors participated in the great Alabama Fever land rush. The project is focused primarily on finding the ancestral roots of those who settled in or passed through the popular junction at Blount County, Alabama, and its neighboring counties of Jefferson, Walker, Cullman, St. Clair, Etowah and Marshall County, but is also open to genetic matching families who settled in the nearby counties of Shelby, DeKalb, Jackson, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, Randolph, Talladega, Calhoun, Tuscaloosa, Morgan, Madison, Limestone, Lawrence, Lauderdale, Winston, Marion and Fayette Counties.
Those from any ethnicity who believe they may be descended from or related to ancestors who lived in these areas before the Civil War and are biologically related to current project members or believe they may be biologically related to current project members are invited to join. The surnames of interest for the Alabama Fever DNA Project include (but are not limited to) those listed on our website.
Please be sure that you are logged into your FTDNA account when clicking on the "Join" link on our site and sending your join request.

Australian Convicts | 704 | Updated 14 September 2024
To help find family connections for the Convicts of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things.
1) The surname of the person being tested.
2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line.
3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor.
For those who arrived in Australia, "courtesy" of the British Government. Although both the "First Fleet" and the "Second Fleet" are important and more information is known about them than that of many sailings, it is the fact that your ancestor was forcibly transported which is the criteria of the project. You will preferably know on which ship your ancestor was carried. (The First Fleet consisted of Alexander, Charlotte, Friendship, Lady Penrhyn, Prince of Wales, Scarborough. The Second Fleet consisted of Lady Juliana, Guardian, Justinian, Surprize (or Surprise), Neptune, Scarborough. There was also HMS Glatton 1802 - the only Royal Naval vessel to have transported convicts.
Once you join, please ensure you advise the admins of your DIRECT paternal ancestor's ship, the date of arrival and the port of disembarkation. If you do not know these details, please write and say so. (This also applies to your DIRECT maternal ancestor's arrival details). Should you have NOT tested Y-DNA or mtDNA (and only FF), these details are unnecessary. |

Black Belt of Alabama | 1465 | The Black Belt of Alabama DNA Project now connected to the African American Griot Legacy Project (AAGLP) was intended to use DNA as a tool for African Americans researching their central Alabama roots. It started with earlier members who can trace their male (Y-DNA) or female (MtDNA) ancestry to Dallas, Marengo, Perry or Wilcox counties (or to areas that border these counties) in the period from about 1840 through 1880. It continues to focus in this research while at the same time connecting to the broader research of the African American Legacy Project breaking down brick walls as a result of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. |

Devon | 1366 | ***PLEASE READ FIRST*** The Devon DNA project is a Y-DNA and mtDNA geographical project for everyone with a direct paternal or maternal ancestral line originating in the English county of Devon. The only requirement for joining the project is that PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE A DOCUMENTED PAPER TRAIL TO DEVON on the direct paternal line for the Y-DNA test or on the direct maternal line for the mtDNA test. There will be no exceptions. The project is also collecting Family Finder results. For the Family Finder test you should be able to document a link with Devon in the last five generations.
IMPORTANT. If you want help with your results please ensure that you choose LIMITED ACCESS for the Devon Project. See:</br>
<a href="https://www.familytreedna.com/learn/project-administration/group-administrator-access-levels-and-permissions/">https://www.familytreedna.com/learn/project-administration/group-administrator-access-levels-and-permissions/</a></br>
Please note that the project is not able to accept deep-rooted lines from America where the only connection with Devon is in the 1500s or 1600s. These pedigrees are prone to error and are very difficult to verify. There is also the possibility of a non-paternal event leading to the introduction of non-Devon DNA. If your surname is from an American line please find someone from an English line of more recent origin to represent the surname on your behalf.

EARLY PENNSYLVANIA | 1543 | This project is to help researchers make connections with others whose ancestors immigrated through Pennsylvania before 1850. Several major groups used Pennsylvania as their gateway to a new life. Some of these groups were the Quakers, "Pennsylvania Dutch"(Germans & Swiss), Irish, English, French, Scotts and Scotts-Irish. Often these people were related but with the lack of paper documents in the early years of the colonies the only way to make a connection is through DNA. Hopefully by grouping these early travelers, you will be able to find relatives you didn't know you had.
PLEASE ONLY ASK TO JOIN IF YOU KNOW YOUR ANCESTORS LIVED IN OR IMMIGRATED THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA BEFORE 1850. |

England GB Groups EIJ | 9673 | Why join a project? 1/You get access to more information. 2/ You give others the ability to find you, so it is not all down to you. 3/ The Activity Feed in this project is very busy and a good place to ask questions. In general people should be members of three types of projects. A) A geographical project such as this. B) a surname project if there is one, C) At least one and perhaps more than one haplogroup projects. This project was started in Feb 2016.It's purpose was finding origins of surnames and DNA groups in Great Britain in England, Scotland, Wales and indeed Ireland. We hope to answer a number of different questions about the settlement of the British Isles. Great Britain is the largest island in the British isles which is why it is called great. England, Scotland and Wales can be looked at within modern political boundaries and there are projects for Scotland and Wales. This project takes a different approach ignoring modern political boundaries. It allows us to see all the British information in one concentrated place.
Please note, unless you allow Admin to see your results by having your settings at least to LIMITED ACCESS we will not be able to do this.
So if you are of English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish background you are welcome to join.
The British Isles are dominated by the R1b haplogroup. This project gives emphasis to minority groups such as E, G, I and J. Other minority groups such as R1a and T are also welcome. Indeed if you are R1b you are also welcome! Place name surnames such as those ending -ton, -ham, -ford, -ley, -bridge, -worth, -stone, -well, -bridge, -by, -bury, -caster, -ing, -thorpe, -thwaite, -ey, -stow, cliff,-hill, -wick etc are particularly welcome. You can only join if you have tested with FTDNA Familytreedna
If you are asking a question please give your kit number and haplogroup. Please do not send questions to our individual email addresses; they will not be answered.
There are many pages in this project, try resetting your lines per page and searching your name or kit number to get to your information quickly.
This is a gracious project, so be polite. Bad behaviour is not tolerated and regrettably sometimes people have to be removed. |

Frangieh DNA Project (FFRGP) | 36 | Welcome to the official DNA Project for the Frangieh Family & Relatives Genealogy Project (FFRGP)
This project is here to bring all family members, ancestors, descendants and extended family members of all families of Ehden and Zgharta, Lebanon, primarily focusing on those that have at any point in time married someone from the Frangieh family, including those that have lived in Lebanon and/or emigrated to many countries around the world originating from Zgharta, Ehden and other areas of Lebanon.
This DNA Project on FTDNA is known as Round 4 of our evidence processing schedule. Round 4 consists of Analysis and Processing of DNA Matches, of which the project founder, Raymond Frangie, already has over 1000 DNA Matches of 4th Cousin or Closer as identified via Ancestry, along with numerous matches on FTDNA. This project will allow the project to consolidate DNA Matches globally, making it easier to process and identify relatives. While the project is currently processing Stage 1 of Round 2 in our evidence schedule, given that at the current rate Round 4 may not be reached until 2022-2023, the global project team has decided to run Round 4 in parallel.
For more information and regular updates, please request to join our private group on Facebook, titled Frangieh Family & Relatives Genealogy Project, located here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FFRGP/

Hebrew DNA Research | 1457 | The Hebrew DNA Research Project is designed to identify common allele patterns among individuals who, based upon family tradition or otherwise, have reason to believe that they may have had Hebrew ancestors. The term Hebrew refers to individuals or descendants of individuals claiming descent from Abraham, Isaac and/or Jacob. We will be comparing patterns and distributions of those who share this belief or tradition to ascertain whether commonalities exist which may allow us to further refine members of Hebrew families and tribes. |

Iowa DNA | 2518 | The Iowa DNA Project welcomes all of those with a connection to the State of Iowa. This project aims to learn more about the settlers of Iowa and to connect DNA cousins to surnames (or variants) in our family tree database. The Iowa DNA Project focuses primarily on Family Finder test results to connect known and prospective DNA cousins, and their collateral lines. Testing yDNA and mtDNA is also encouraged.
If you would like to join, you must have, or be willing to, test to at least Family Finder level with Family Tree DNA, or have transferred your results from another testing organization to Family Tree DNA.
To Join go to the public website link above and select Join. |

Iowa Loess Hills | 71 | Although most participants have completed yDNA or mtDNA testing, this project primarily uses Family Finder (atDNA) test results to connect current and prospective DNA cousins, and their collateral lineages, that came together in Monona County Iowa and then dispersed around the World.
The project co-administrators are strictly volunteer so there are long stretches when activity is minimal. Hopefully the site and everyone's efforts will facilitate connecting our DNA cousins to surnames (or variants) in our family tree database using historical records and other facts.
Participants must have, or be willing to complete, the Family Finder test or transfer your results from another testing organization to Family Tree DNA and upload a GEDCOM (the best you know) to your Family Tree DNA account.
To participate, submit your request by clicking on the "Join" button in the upper right corner of the web page and follow the instructions.

Maine Genealogical | 2093 | Welcome to the Maine Genealogical Project, a Geographic Project. It is open to all with Maine connections, but I believe will be most helpful to those who have a pedigree including 4 - 7 generations of Maine ancestors. Autosomal and Y-DNA results along with our traditional genealogy research are the main tools of this project.
A very special thanks to Martin Hendrix and Lee Martin who have volunteered as co-administrators. They are working with the Y results and overall administration of our project.
The common links between members are a DNA match and eventually a known or suspected relationship based on traditional research with the geographic location being Maine.
If you have or think you may have roots in Maine, Let's work together to connect with our matches. |

New Jersey | 758 | The purpose of this project is to help descendants of New Jersey ancestors to find and connect with each other. Some family names, such as REED, SMITH, FORD and ADAMS are prolific throughout the state, while others, like ACKLEY are no longer as prolific but the line of descent is unsure, with a number of early ACKLEY immigrants to the American colonies being possible ancestors to more than two distinct branches.
The list of surnames provided is not exhaustive, but provides some names that might help guide other lost cousins to our group. |

North of Ireland | 10743 | In taking forward its key objective of fostering an interest in family history with special reference to families who have roots in the North of Ireland and their descendants wherever they may be, the North of Ireland Family History Society (NIFHS) has established a project to use DNA testing as an aid to making genealogical connections within and between families whose roots are in the North of Ireland.
The purpose of the project is to
• Promote DNA testing by those whose heritage is from the North of Ireland.
• Offer information, support and training for those who test and manage DNA tests of others.
• Share DNA results to facilitate genealogical connections.
• Carry out research into the DNA of the North of Ireland.
The Society provides volunteer Project Administrators and Co-Administrators who promote and administer the project via branch meetings, local and family history events, social media and other appropriate communication channels to Society members, their families and members of the public with North of Ireland roots.
The project covers Y-DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and autosomal DNA (atDNA). To aid the analysis of results, standards of testing and the efficiency of support the project promotes testing through FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA), although not exclusively. Discounts are available from FTDNA if orders are placed through the DNA project.
The Society runs regular courses on DNA testing for beginners, intermediates and advanced learners. Details are available at www.nifhs.org/resources/courses. If you have attended our DNA courses you are welcome to join our monthly DNA interest group. Its purpose is to educate, to give people an opportunity to work on their matches and to learn from each other.

Old Albemarle County VA Ancestors | 71 | This project is a geographic project and thus is open to all yDNA and mtDNA participants.
In 1744 the Virginia General Assembly created Albemarle County by taking the northern portion of Goochland County (itself created in 1728 from Henrico county). Its original land area included today's counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Fluvanna, and Nelson, much of Appomattox and part of Campbell. This project will include the counties that were in this same area both before and after the creation of Albemarle county.
Since this is a geographically oriented project, the kits will be grouped by SNP markers rather than surnames. |

Oxfordshire | 623 | The Oxfordshire Dual Geographic Project aims to identify DNA that can be associated with the English county and its surnames. There are some rules that should be met before DNA results are accepted. A person’s direct male or female line of ancestry should include documentation of the following:
• residence in the English county of Oxfordshire over several generations, preferably including the earliest confirmed ancestor, and
• the known association with the county should precede 1900.
In addition, the following should be provided as a minimum:
• the name and supporting life dates of the earliest known ancestor who lived in the county,
• a place of residence in the county for this ancestor, and
• if contributing autosomal DNA results, as much information as possible about all ancestral Oxfordshire family surnames.
The administrators of the project reserve the right to hold a prospective member of the project from full participation until these conditions are substantially met.
For the DNA tests:
• you should have internet access,
• at least 37 STR markers should be completed for Y-DNA testing,
• at least both HVR1 and HVR2 for mtDNA so that some discrimination of haplogroup is possible, and/or
• standard FTDNA autosomal (Family Finder).
See the public website for information on joining this project or continue below. |

Paspébiac Généalogie | 23 | Paspébiac est une petite ville de la baie des Chaleurs où la concentration des habitants d'origine basque est l'une des plus élevées en Amérique. Leurs descendants sont issus d'une communauté autochtone très métissée avec des pionniers d'origines basques, gasconnes, allemandes, portuguaises, françaises, irlandaises, écossaises, anglaises, bretonnes, lorraines, jersiaises, normandes... et canadiennes-françaises.
Paspébiac fait partie de la Gaspésie, une région de l'est du Québec, au Canada. Plusieurs des premiers descendants ont quitté notre ancien village pour se rendre travailler dans tous les autres villages jusqu'à Percé, sur la Côte-Nord du Québec, dans des États du Maine au Minnesota, ainsi qu'en Ontario.
En gros, les premières plus grandes familles qui s'installèrent à Paspébiac furent les Duguay, les Huard, les Chapados, les Denis et les Larocque (avant la Conquête); Ensuite, les Roussy, les Lebrasseur, les Alain, les Cronier et les Cyr (après la Conquête); puis les Mallet, les Castilloux et les Delarosbil (avant la guerre d'indépendance des USA); enfin les Aspirot et les Arotsena, tous deux des Basques (après la guerre d'indépendance des USA). Par contre, le patronyme Arotsena a disparu, n'ayant pas eu de descendance masculine pour perpétuer le nom. Ce qui n'empêche pas qu'il ait beaucoup de descendants actuels.
Dans cette même période, Paspébiac étant situé du côté nord de la baie des Chaleurs et le Nouveau Brunswick du côté sud, des couples se sont créés entre femmes de Paspébiac et hommes de Shippagan ou de Caraquet, et vice versa. Par exemple, quatre enfants de la deuxième génération de la famille des Roussy de Paspébiac s'unirent avec quatre enfants de la même famille des Parisé du Nouveau Brunswick. Ces couples se retrouvent dans l'un ou l'autre côté de la baie. Aussi, des couples de Paspébiac partirent rejoindre des membres de leur famille au Nouveau Brunswick.
D'autres familles arrivèrent au XIXe siècle et formèrent d'autres couplees : Anderson, Arguimo, Athot, Aubut, Beaucamp, Beaudry, Béland, Berthelot, Blais, Boudreau, Brière, Brotherton, Brunet, Caissy, Corbet, Decaen, Desroches, Dunn, Enright, Essiambre, Ferrand, Francoeur, Fulham, Garnier, Gignac, Giguère, Greene, Grenier, Hardy, Harquail, Hogan, Holmes, Horth, Joseph, Labourdette, Lamy, Lantin, Lecourtois, Lamarre, Lambert, Lambret, Laurent, Lavac, Leblanc, Lemarquand, Lemoy, Lequesne, Lévesque, Mailloux, Maldemay, Moulin, Munroe, Parisé, Pitre, Plusquellec, Poirier, Prévost, Stibre, Talbot, Tennier, Vautier, Vicaire, Whittom, Wood... Avisez-nous si j'en passe !
Ce projet est géographique. Il met en relation des hommes qui pensent que leur ligne directe patrilinéaire provient de Paspébiac et de ses alentours. Pour cette raison, ce projet n'est réservé qu'aux hommes dont la lignée directe paternelle (de fils, en père, en père, en père...) monterait jusqu'au premier ancêtre connu, qui doit être originaire de cette région. Les tests ADNy sont exclusifs aux hommes, sans aucune discrimination envers les femmes qui peuvent passer des tests ADNmt et s'inscrire aux groupes appropriés déjà existants.
Par ailleurs, vous comprendrez que nous acceptons des familles d'origines basques venant d'autres lieux cités plus haut dans le texte, comme des Turbide, Bernatchez, Ostiguy, Chevarie, Chevary, Etcheverry, Basque, Bastarache, Lortie, Deraspe, Gariépy et j'en passe...
En cliquant sur Liens (Links) à gauche, vous pourrez lire des articles sur les familles déjà inscrites à ce projet. En plus d'articles publiés dans des revues spécialisées. Sur le lien Résultats ADN, vous y verrez deux liens vers des tableaux colorés pour des descendants qui ont passé des tests et qui ont été inscrits dans des sous-groupes spécifiques aux informations du pionnier sur une ligne colorée : ses parents quand c'est possible, ses années de naissance et de décès, son lieu de naissance, la date de son mariage et le nom de son épouse, ses parents à elle entre parenthèses, son état de métisse quand il y a lieu et parfois son haplogroupe quand elle a été triangulée ADNmt, enfin le lieu de leur mariage.
Ce que nous demandons à chacun des membres, c'est d'inscrire le fils du pionnier dont il descend, afin de ne pas multiplier les mêmes informations. Ce qui, en plus, nous informera d'une triangulation quand tous les membres descendent d'au moins deux fils différents du même pionnier, puisque ce dernier se trouve inscrit dans la ligne colorée jaune. Par le fait même, nous vous demandons aussi de rendre publiques les informations pour les Descendants des ancêtres de Paspébiac qui souhaitent être mis au courant du développement du projet. N'ayez crainte, les prénoms des testeurs restent confidentiels, ils sont identifiés par le numéro de leur trousse.
Aussi, il importe que vous sachiez que les informations contenues dans ce groupe sont accessibles à tous les internautes. Si vous ne désirez pas que vos données soient divulguées publiquement, on vous conseille de ne pas vous inscrire. On vous considère libres et responsables de votre adhésion. De même, il est de votre propre responsabilité de divulguer votre identité de personne testée, ce que l’on ne conseille nullement.
Pour le moment, il n'y a pas de modération pour intégrer le groupe. S.V.P. Faites pour que nous n'ayons pas à le faire et collaborez avec les administrateurs qui recherchent des informations généalogiques spécifiques. Merci de votre attention.

Project: Paspébiac Généalogie Members: 23 Paspébiac est une petite ville de la baie des Chaleurs où la concentration des habitants d'origine basque est l'une des plus élevées en Amérique. Leurs descendants sont issus d'une communauté autochtone très métissée avec des pionniers d'origines basques, gasconnes, allemandes, portuguaises, françaises, irlandaises, écossaises, anglaises, bretonnes, lorraines, jersiaises, normandes... et canadiennes-françaises.
Paspébiac fait partie de la Gaspésie, une région de l'est du Québec, au Canada. Plusieurs des premiers descendants ont quitté notre ancien village pour se rendre travailler dans tous les autres villages jusqu'à Percé, sur la Côte-Nord du Québec, dans des États du Maine au Minnesota, ainsi qu'en Ontario.
En gros, les premières plus grandes familles qui s'installèrent à Paspébiac furent les Duguay, les Huard, les Chapados, les Denis et les Larocque (avant la Conquête); Ensuite, les Roussy, les Lebrasseur, les Alain, les Cronier et les Cyr (après la Conquête); puis les Mallet, les Castilloux et les Delarosbil (avant la guerre d'indépendance des USA); enfin les Aspirot et les Arotsena, tous deux des Basques (après la guerre d'indépendance des USA). Par contre, le patronyme Arotsena a disparu, n'ayant pas eu de descendance masculine pour perpétuer le nom. Ce qui n'empêche pas qu'il ait beaucoup de descendants actuels.
Dans cette même période, Paspébiac étant situé du côté nord de la baie des Chaleurs et le Nouveau Brunswick du côté sud, des couples se sont créés entre femmes de Paspébiac et hommes de Shippagan ou de Caraquet, et vice versa. Par exemple, quatre enfants de la deuxième génération de la famille des Roussy de Paspébiac s'unirent avec quatre enfants de la même famille des Parisé du Nouveau Brunswick.

Pioneer Families of | 1489 | A project to help descendants of early settlers of North and Central Pennsylvania find their roots using DNA results and family tree information. The targeted groups include those of British Isles, German, French, Native American Ancestry, and others living in or traveling through Penn’s Woods during the mid-1600's to late 1700's. This project is intended to help members make tree connections using DNA results and family tree information. Prospective members should have DNA test results and enough family tree information to trace their ancestry to the targeted groups/area. Public access GEDCOM uploads to FTDNA preferred. Please include enough information in your join request to determine your qualification as a descendant of people in colonial or pre-colonial Pennsylvania. This is a Dual (Y-DNA & mtDNA) Geographical Project. Autosomal DNA results welcome.
To further genealogical connections between descendants of PA Pioneers and the early people of the North and Central Pennsylvania using DNA test results and family tree information. To facilitate genealogical tree connections by allowing project members to compare and share DNA test results and family tree information.
Target area includes present day North and Central Pennsylvania prior to and after formation of the Commonwealth. This area subsequently became the bulk of the Pennsylvania’s Claim with a portion of Virginia's Claim and Connecticut's Claim lying within it (see Pennsylvania Genealogical Map of the Counties, prepared 1933 by PA Land Office). After organization of the Commonwealth this area became the early counties of: Cumberland, Berks, Northampton, Bedford, Westmoreland, Lancaster, Northumberland, Luzerne, Lycoming, and Allegheny. Today the area includes any northern or centrally located county formed from a portion of the early counties previously listed e.g. Centre, Mifflin, Dauphin, Tioga, Juniata, Venango, Wyoming, Lawrence, Columbia, Warren, Sullivan, Erie, etc. |

Prussia/Preußen | 729 | Welcome to the Prussia/Preußen DNA Project
This Project's main Focus is the identification and investigation of the single parental Lineages of the People which inhabited and originated in the Lands Controlled Claimed and incorporated by the Kingdom of Prussia and later German Empire. It is Important to mention since The Kingdom of Prussia or/and other Political Entities named Prussia within the German Empire are not existing anymore the lands and territories this Project Aims to cover are including the maximal possible claimed lands. this is not a Political statement of any kind but rather a more flexible approach and an attempt to include participants which may not be sure if they actually belong to the Lands claimed by the various Prussian and Later German Political Entities.
Since the Borders in North Central Europe shifted quite frequently during the second millennium, the lands covered in this project may surprisingly for some, include members originating in the majority of present day Poland, Russia (Former East Prussia) Lithuania and even Belarus. Maps of Various stages of development of the Prussian Kingdom and German Empire Controlled and Claimed lands will be Published in the Project's pages. |

Putnam Co NY & south Dutchess | 84 | If you have pre-1800 heritage from southern Dutchess Co, NY (most of which is now Putnam Co NY), please join this project! We welcome Y-DNA, mtDNA, and FamilyFinder results from those who have connections to this area.
There were many families who lived here in the 1740s and 1750s who moved on in the 1760s farther north in NY or into Vermont.
The growth in this area from 1740-1800 was tremendous, but because most residents were tenants until the 1780s, figuring out the relationships among them often could use a DNA boost. That is what this project hopes to facilitate. |

Rehoboth MA | 541 | This is a location specific FAMILY FINDER (autosomal DNA) AND Y-DNA project and is open to all who have an ancestor that lived in Rehoboth, Massachusetts prior to 1750. Most Rehoboth families intermarried heavily so the idea behind this project is to share genealogy information about Early Rehoboth Families and see what residual DNA connections there may be. To date 75% of members of this project match atDNA with at least one other member. So although many will share ancestors on a few will retain shared DNA that is reflected in shared segments. A wonderful by-product of this project is that founding families Y-DNA is compiled all in one place.
Rehoboth is a bit unusual in that the original town center (now located in Rumford, Rhode Island) is not where Rehoboth is located today AND Rehoboth has for many hundreds of years survived with a very scattered, rural population. The names of the original Proprietors are still in evidence today. The insular and rural nature of the area may provide for more concentrated evidence of shared ancestry than would be typical of many New England small towns.

Robeson Co. NC American Indian | 3387 |
The Robeson Co. NC American Indian Regional DNA Project is open to anyone who believes they are (or could be) descendants of an American Indian, and who desire to determine and/or prove their American Indian heritage when their ancestors are believed to originally be from the Robeson Co., North Carolina vicinity. The vicinity includes the counties adjacent to Robeson County in both North and South Carolina. The Lumbee Tribe is but one of the American Indian Tribes that has inhabited the southeast North Carolina and northeast South Carolina area over the past 500 years. The region was also host to many Indians who were not associated with an organized tribe.
This project is not associated with any specific tribe, but participation includes people researching their heritage associated with any of the following tribes or groups: Catawba, Cheraws, Chowanoc, Coharie, Croatoan, Indians of Robeson County, Lumbee, PeeDee, Tuscarora , Waccamaw, etc. The Robeson County area and this project cover a melting-pot of Indian cultures and tribal people.
This DNA project is available to people who have obtained a Y-Chromosome test (direct paternal line), a mitochondrial DNA test (direct maternal line) and/or an atDNA test (Family Finder) with FTDNA.
The primary objective of this project is to establish the genetic profile(s) for the various American Indians in the region, regardless of tribe affiliation, if any. In addition, the results of this project will assist family historians trace their American Indian ancestry and identify their genetic cousins among the other members and their Indian ancestors.
The 19th century U.S. censuses identified prominent Indian family surnames from this region to be Brayboy, Brooks, Carter, Chavis, Cumbo, Dial, Hammond, Kersey, Locklear, Lowry, Oxendine and Revels. They are usually listed in the Census as "All Other Free Persons." Other surnames of interest to the this Project include: Allen, Berry, Brewington, Byrd, Cumbaa, Gallagher, Goins, Hersey, Jordan, Kelly, Middleton, Morgan, Stanley, Strickland, Webb and Woolfork.
The U.S. census identifies the surnames listed below as names used by some Indian families. Many of these surnames also identify Caucasian and African families as well in the Robeson County vicinity.

Saddleworth, Yorkshi | 171 | The project results from a Conference of local societies on the theme of DNA & Family History. It is managed by the Saddleworth Historical Society.
The aim of the project is to establish a DNA database of early Saddleworth names that are known to be most common in the locality before 1642. This can be used by family historians to add to the documentary evidence that is avalaible.
Saddleworth is a parish in the West Riding of Yorkshire situated on the west side of the Pennines. It contains several villages including Denshaw, Delph, Diggle, Dobcross, Greenfield, Grasscroft, Lydgate, Roughtown, Springhead and Uppermill. In the C18 & C19 major turnpike, canal and rail routes connecting Manchester with Leeds & Huddersfield.
During the Industrial Revolution Saddleworth became a major textile centre. At first handloom weaving prospered in the hillside hamlets and water powered mills. Later steam powered mills and industrial villages were established in the valley bottoms.
Emigration, both within the region and overseas, has long been a feature of Saddleworth life. There were opportunities where skills & enterprise were in demand or there was the need to escape the recurring slumps in the cotton or woollen industries. One of the aims of the project is to, through family histories, to investigate this.

The ancestor should appear in the database for Shetland at www.bayanne.info/Shetland/.
With respect to the first of these projects, the primary goal of the is to help individuals locate genetic cousins. Until the 1800s a patronymic naming system was common in the Shetlands among Norse families. Due to this practice, it would not be unusual in such an isolated part of the world for someone with the surname Williamson to find their closest Y chromosome matches in those with the surname Robertson. Normally we would ignore 12 / 12 marker matches if the surnames were different. This is not true of surnames originating in Shetland.

Ulster Heritage DNA | 6970 | Updated 14 September 2024.
The Big Y 700 is our test of choice for males.
The Ulster DNA Project
Membership is free and open to all of Ulster ancestry. The goal of the Ulster DNA Project is to further the study of Ulster surnames, families, clans, and tribal affiliations of the people of Ulster and their descendants throughout the Diaspora. The Ulster DNA Project is a Y chromosome paternal ancestry project. The Y chromosome is only passed from father to son, so only men may participate. Women researching their father's paternal line will need to have a male of that line participate.
Ulster has several factors that have made family research and surname study there very problematic, however DNA testing has given researchers a very powerful and effective tool to bring clarity and uncover obscured Ulster history.
This project has evolved from the very successful work of individual Ulster family DNA projects. These projects very dramatically demonstrated the need to separate history from pseudo history and to correct many mistaken ideas that originate in generic surname books.
The Ulster DNA Project will not only further one’s family history, but also has the goal of showing a family’s origins, clan affiliation when appropriate, and even deep ancestry dating to tribal times.
PLEASE keep your Email address current on your Family Tree page, it is the only way we have to contact you.

WestFloridaParishes | 348 | This Regional DNA Project is for living descendants of the pioneers of the West Florida Parishes of Louisiana and the neighboring areas of Mississippi. The West Florida Parishes belonged to Spanish Florida at the time of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. These parishes didn’t become a part of Louisiana until 1810.<br><br>This project is for the purpose of supporting the genealogical efforts of the family historians and the descendants for all the many pioneer families who settled the West Florida Parish Region via the use of genetic testing.<br><br>The West Florida Parishes Regional DNA Project is open to anyone who believes they are (or could be) descendants of one of the area’s pioneer families. This project is both a Y-Chromosome (direct paternal line) and a mitochondrial DNA (direct maternal line) study. You are hereby cordially invited to participate in this historic project. Those requesting participation are requested to supply Robert B. Noles with their known genealogies.<br><br>The West Florida Parish Region is in southeast Louisiana and includes eight current Louisiana parishes: East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and West Feliciana. The Mississippi counties of Amite, Hancock, Lamar, Marion, Pearl River, Pike, and Walthall are immediately adjacent to the Louisiana West Florida Parishes. These Mississippi counties were also home to many of the same pioneers who settled the West Florida Parishes in the 18th and 19th centuries. <br><br>This project will permit comparisons of Y-DNA and mtDNA test results across a spectrum of southeast Louisiana families in conjunction with the genealogical database maintained by Robert B. Noles and the resources of the St. Tammany Genealogical Society Library. The database contains the published genealogies (and a lot more) from the Doris E.

Wood, Edmund - Immigrant Ancestor | 58 | Group study using Big y700 DNA to help identify and tease apart the branches of the Edmund Wood family that emigrated from England. We are represented in group 33 of the Wood surname project, you may join both.
Edmund and his three sons are the only known Wood family members from this line that emigrated to America around the time of 1635. Edmund and sons; Jonas, Jeremiah and Timothy first went to MA, then CT, only staying a short while. Lastly went to Hempstead and Huntington, Long Island, NY and settled there. Descendants from all three sons branched out to Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, Ontario, Nova Scotia Canada and subsequently all over the country. Our hope is that by having group members who either have already done Big y700 testing or are willing to start/upgrade to Big y700 testing we can help those of us who have brick walls in our lineage fill in the blanks back to Edmund.
Currently accepting members to this project who either have proven lineage back to our immigrant ancestor and will Big y700 test or members who have already tested YDNA 37 markers or above and match our haplogroup that belongs to Edmund Wood and will upgrade their kits to Big y700. |
