The original 44 settlers of Los Angeles consisted of 11 men, 11 women, and 22 children. This project is to offer a place to coordinate male Y-DNA results for males descended from the original settlers known as Las Pobladores. 

We anticipate 50 men to test in the first year and increase to 110 project participants in the second year. If you are currently working on tracing your early California roots, please test. If you are working with other researchers please let them know about this project.
