Welcome to the Florida Keys DNA Project! This project welcomes anyone who has ancestors who lived in Key West or any other area of the Florida Keys between the time of the Revolutionary War through the time of the Civil War (approximately 1770 to 1870). It is hoped that the application of genetic genealogy will illuminate family connections and link researchers to origins in New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, Bahamas, and the British Isles. It is also hoped that Y-DNA analysis from male participants will add depth to our understanding of haplogroups present in the Keys while enlarging the Family Tree DNA database and providing members with a better insight to their geographic origins.

The Florida Keys DNA Project is an independent genealogical research study run by volunteer administrators. The project receives no funding, and participants are responsible for the costs of their own tests. The project was organised as a co-operative effort among those who wish to explore genetic testing to advance their knowledge of deep and recent family backgrounds.
