Description
The Cullen Family DNA Project is open to all people named Cullen and similar surnames, like Cullinan, McCullen, Cullens and many others.
We know that many different Irish Gaelic surnames were anglicized to Cullen, and Cullen also has origins in England, Scotland and elsewhere in Europe. Through DNA testing we will find common linages and pinpoint the locations our ancestors came from.
As an administrator of this project, I welcome questions and concerns from anyone thinking about ordering a test. Please email me at berniecullen@gmail.com
I would like to extend a special welcome to members of the Genographic Project of National Geographic and others who have already been tested, but not yet joined our group. Please contact me so we can get you involved.
Thank you, Bernie Cullen, volunteer administrator, berniecullen@gmail.com
--May 2018--We now have over 100 members, including Cullen men living in Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, the US and Canada!
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
