The Mississippi to Virginia Project (MVP) is an open DNA Project that provides a database to hold the Y-DNA, mtDNA, and Family Finder DNA results of individuals that have ancestral surnames with origins tied to the Southern states of the US. These southern states are Mississippi, Louisiana, North-South Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia. The goal is to provide a place where one can discover and connect to unknown relatives and ancestors. Anyone is free to join and a warm reception is given to all.
