Welcome to the Brogan Family DNA Group. This is a new group as of July 2016 and we

are here to help bring together all  Brogan researchers in order to compare DNA results and

family research with the hopes of finding our most recent common ancestor. This group is

in it’s infancy and is still learning how to interpret the meaning of our test results.We are

hoping that by sharing what we know,we will be able to help each other get a better

understanding of our paternal line and where we came from. Once you join it would be helpful if you'd upload an ancestral GEDCOM.
