Welcome, The goal of this project is to trace the descendants of haplogroup R-FT66312 which originates from Ireland. The project has identified major surnames of DARLING, DALY and O' CONNOR (of various spellings). We have also connected sub-lines of BENSON and ALBEY. If you have Y-DNA tested and believe you are on the R-FT66312 line, please join and we can take a look at your results to see if you are related. The project began as the Darling: Dennis of Braintree project. He was a resident of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in Braintree, Mass. in 1661. We have determined that Dennis Darling was descended from a Daly and Connor line in Ireland. The project seeks to assist others to establish their connection to the Dennis Darling, Daly and Connor lines. CONTACT OUR PROJECT ADMINS FOR TESTING SUGGESTIONS - THERE ARE SOME VERY INEXPENSIVE OPTIONS TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE RELATED TO THE R-FT66312 LINE. SEE THE "BACKGROUND" TAB FOR MORE INFORMATION
