Description
Welcome to mtDNA and Y-DNA tests for The Andes area. This includes Modern Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. I am looking for information of migration of Ancient to Modern Andean Cultures. Some are Moche, Huari, Inka, Nasca, Chimu, Tiwanaku Chavín, Paracas, Mochica, Nazca, Tiahuanaco, Wari and the regional states of Chimú, Chincha and Chanka. This is the beginning description, but more will be add with time. Family names included in this project can be any as the area is the main interest. Thank you, Gail Chavez Viza
This group was started as a way to keep the cost for DNA tests down for Modern and Ancient Andeans.
My Ancestors came to San Francisco from Spain, England and Chile in the 1800's, before California was a state. My husband's family is originally from Peru. Some of his family went to Mexico later. So this site is for anyone who wonders if their ancestors are from the Andes Area.
Requirements
A Geographic Project connects individuals who believe their direct line comes from a specific location. The Dual Geographic Projects are for individuals who order an mtDNA or Y-DNA test. Either their direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother's...) or direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) originates from this area.
