Carroll: focused on descendants of Thomas Carroll, the baker, from County Sligo, Ireland who died before October 1st 1881 or distant cousins that have tested positive for the Y-DNA Haplogroup R-BY3338. Currently, we are only aware of one son, Michael Francis, who was born 4 May 1856 in County Sligo. Michael was married in Jarrow, England before immigrating to the United States through Montreal, Canada. 

*Before joining please double-check your Carroll Branch as we are only focused on a very small branch of R-M222, please refer to the Carroll DNA Project (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/carroll/). There is one exception, descendants of Luke Carroll (1770-1830) of North Carolina are allowed to join until next generation sequencing is performed on their line.

 
Due to the proximity of the Carroll and Dolan lines, shared ancestor R-A260 is aged around 506 AD, we are combining research efforts

Dolan: focused on descendants of John Dolan and Margaret Weir from Ireland or distant cousins that have tested positive for the Y-DNA Haplogroup R-FGC5939. The brick wall starts in Cincinnati, Ohio where John and Margaret first appear baptizing John (5 Feb 1847) and Catherine (24 Feb 1849), no records for the third child, Peter. The project has confirmed Catherine Dolan Banks line but would like to confirm John's line whom died of alcoholism 14 Mar 1896 in St Louis, Missouri.

Akins: focused on the descendants of Patrick Akins (d. 27 Apr 1898 Hartlepool, England) & Mary (d. 21 Mar 1903 Hartlepool, England) from County Mayo, Ireland whom immigrated to Hartlepool, England in between 1860 and 1871. From Bridget Akins Matthews 1871 England Census we are led to believe the Akins are from Newport, County Mayo. We are actively recruiting a male Akins that can prove their paternal ancestry to Patrick Akins (d. 1898 Hartlepool)
*Surname variations: Aikens, Eakins
 
Scanlon: focused on descendants of Charles Scanlon (1826-1893) & Mary Callaghan (1815-1890) from Flughany, County Mayo, Ireland. We haven't located the exact townland where Charles was born, but he was residing in Flughany, County Mayo in 1843. We are actively recruiting a male Scanlon that can prove their paternal ancestry to Charles (1826-1893).

Callarman: focused on descendants of John Callarman (John 1:1) who died in 1818 in Fleming County, KY, or distant cousins with the Y-DNA Haplogroup of R-FGC8410. We are working on determining if Callarman is an Anglicized version of Kellerman, and if there is any connection to Francois Christophe de Kellerman, 1st Duke of Valmy.

Dixon: focused on descendants of William C Dixon (b. abt. 1815 Bedford Co., VA, d. 17 Dec 1864 Alton, IL) the surgeon from Franklin County, Missouri. William was a civilian whom was captured by the Union during the Civil War. The imprisonment of William is the leading cause of his death at the Alton Military Prison. We were able to confirmed his parents are Jubal Dixon (1785-1875) & Mary Mitchell (1790-1841). We now are working on confirming his parents for his grandfather, William. Our prediction is John Dixon & Mary Arthur.
Ćwiklik: focused on descendants of Sebastian Ćwiklik (1761-1827) of Łużna, Poland or distant cousins with the Y-DNA Haplogroup of R-Y103732. Due to the rarity of the Ćwiklik surname we are sponsoring all Ćwiklik men to help discover new branches.
Gibas: focused on descendants of Jan Gibas (b. abt 1789) of Ślemień, Poland. We are actively recruiting for a Gibas male that can prove his paternal lineage to Jan Gibas.

Dengler: focused on descendants of Conrad Dengler (b. 13 Oct 1840 Bavaria, Germany, d. 24 Jan 1919 Chicago, IL). At this moment, we have no knowledge of any Conrad Dengler's male descendants that are still living.
*Check back for updates on the brick wall

Eck: focused on descendants of Nicholas Eck (b. abt 1831 Germany d. 15 Dec 1908 Chicago, IL). We are actively recruiting for a male Eck that can prove his paternal lineage to Nicholas Eck. We are predicting descendants will have the R-DF98 Haplogroup.

Sterri: focused on descendants of Jens Jenssen Thisted, the priest, whom is believed to been born about 1590 and originally came from Thisted, Jutland, Denmark. He was the brother of the pastor Christen Jenssen from Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. About 1621 he went to Nykirke, Norway and resided there as deacon and held this position until 1626 when he moved to Hafslo, Norway. Jens is believed to have died in Hafslo around 1630. Some of Jens descendants became known as the Hafslo Sterri and have the Y-DNA Haplogroup T-BY61359. We are actively recruiting male descendants that can trace their paternal ancestry back to Jens or his brother Christen. We are temporarily allowing the "other" Hafslo Sterri to join until next generation sequencing can be done on their line.
*Surname variations: Sterrie, Sterry
Van Dyke: focused on descendants of Jan Sytses van Dijk (b. 19 Oct 1830 Sexbierum, Netherlands, d. 9 Nov 1894 Floyd Township, IA). Jan resided in the area of Hospers, Iowa where many of his descendants can still be found. We are actively recruiting a male Van Dyke that can trace his paternal ancestry back to Jan Sytses.
*Surname variations: van Dijk, van Dyk  

Roperti: focused on descendants of Andrea Roperti (b. abt 1867 Italy, d. aft Jan 1943) from Conflenti, Catanzaro, Italy whom illegally immigrated to Spooner, Wisconsin in the early 1900s.

Surname variations: Ruperti, Roberta, Roberto, Roberts

Masterjohn: focused on descendants of John Mastroianni & Theresa Vilella from Conflenti, Italy. John's daughter Mary illegally immigrated to Spooner, Wisconsin in the early 1900s. The name Mastroianni was changed due to the railroad Swedish time keepers' mispronunciation of the name which sounded like "Masterjohn".
