About us
The project welcomes individuals who have an unbroken Magoon lineage on their direct paternal (yDNA) or maternal (mtDNA) line of descent.
NOTE:
Surname testing
For surname research we recommend the 37 Y-DNA marker test as a good entry level product and the minimum useful for genealogical matching. The test can be upgraded to 67 markers at any time. This test can only be taken by males.
If you have already tested with Family Tree DNA
- Login to your FTDNA account.

If you get an error message it typically means that you are already a member of the project.
Your join request will receive an acknowledgement from FTDNA that the process is complete and in due course you will receive a welcome message from the project administrator.
