(Previous presentation made by the admin in 2012-2020) The Lafond DNA Project is a Y-chromosome project. We do not work with either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results , nor with autosomal test results (e.g., FTDNA's Family Finder test). If you have taken (or are now ordering) a Y-DNA test (e.g., Family Tree DNA's Y-DNA67 test, or the Big Y-500 test), and your paternal Y-DNA lineage is known or suspected to bear the Lafond surname (or a variant), or you have some evidence that it should have borne this surname, then you are welcome to join this project. If your Lafond ancestry is via some other lineage than your paternal surname-bearing lineage, then you do not bear any relevant DNA to this project, and there is therefore no benefit to join. If the testee is female, then you do not have the correct type of DNA for this project. Denis Beauregard is managing the project from 2023.
