Boston Irish DNA | 1956 | If your paternal ancestor came from Ireland and settled in Greater Boston then this is the place for you.
Over the last 400 years hundreds of thousand of Irish people came to Boston. Some stayed and many moved on. Today there are an estimated 1,665,000.00 residents of Irish descent in Massachusetts.
“History has bound this country (Ireland) very closely to the United States. Down the centuries millions of Irish people crossed the Atlantic in search of a new life in a new world..... As Irish people our relationships with the United States and the European Union are complex. Geographically we are closer to Berlin than Boston. Spiritually we are probably a lot closer to Boston than Berlin.” Remarks by Tánaiste, Mary Harney at a Meeting of the American Bar Association in the Law Society of Ireland, Blackhall Place, Dublin on Friday 21st July 2000.

Cambria Co., Pennsylvania Y-DNA & MtDNA | 1941 | Welcome! <br><br>
If you've been researching family lines within Cambria County, Pennsylvania, then you know how rich and diverse the genealogical mix is in this single county. This group is for anyone, and everyone, with DNA connections to Cambria County.<br><br>
This group is accepting both Y-DNA & Family Finder results from any contributor who wishes to join our group. We are no longer supporting mtDNA only kits. My own primary Cambria lines, on my mother's side, are Weakland (Paternal) and Riley/Reilly (Maternal). Cambria County was formed in 1807, from parts of Huntingdon and Bedford Counties. Pre-1807 families from Huntingdon and Bedford are always welcome too. Families from surrounding counties are always welcome as well, please indicate when joining if you're from a neighboring county. |

Iberian Ashkenaz | 2077 | Male-line connections between Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews. Sephardi Jews (as well as their converso descendants in Iberia and Latin America) and Ashkenazi Jews are genetically related, especially on their male lines, at multiple timepoints throughout history—from ancient (i.e. common origins in ancient Israel) to early modern (i.e. post-Inquisition Sephardi ancestry in Eastern Europe). The goal of this project is to document as many of these Sephardi-Ashkenazi links as possible, using Y-DNA haplogroups and haplotype signatures of Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Iberian, Hispanic, and Italian males. All male Sephardim and Ashkenazim are welcome to join, as well as their Iberian, Hispanic, and Italian matches, and members of other Mediterranean Jewish groups. |

Ireland yDNA | 11237 | The Ireland Y-DNA Project welcomes males ONLY who have done or who intend to do a y-chromosome DNA (yDNA) test through Family Tree DNA and who also have Irish ancestry on their own patrilineal line (your father, his father, his father's father). An autosomal DNA test is not a suitable DNA test. You need a yDNA test. A yDNA test is a prerequisite for membership.
Documented evidence of a paternal Irish ancestry in a genealogical time frame (~500 years) or a paternal Irish surname which has an origin in Ireland within the past 1000 years (when many Irish surnames began) or close matches at 67 markers with people who have paternal Irish ancestry is a prerequisite for membership.
Very many Irish Surnames now have their own surname project where you will find more details relating to a specific surname. We do ask you to check also to see if there is a surname project for your surname and if so, we ask you join it as well. Perhaps, you would consider setting up a surname project for your surname if none exists?
We also suggest you join an appropriate y-haplogroup project.

Lituania_Propria | 2314 | Lituania Propria project is for those who trace their roots from all the times Lithuania Proper and surrounding Baltic lands.
For those who still live in either in neighbourhood of it, or at least remember their ancestral country of origin, no matter what language today use or the country live in.
Also we are interested in people, whose names reflect the names of Baltic tribes, ethnographic groups or regions. Therefore we invite to join the project Lithuanians of Lithuania Minor, Latvians, Latgalians as well as descendants of Old Prussians, Nadruvians, Scalovians, Curonians, Semigalians, Selonians, Yatvingians, West and East Galindians or even those who feels representing Neuri.
For descendants of Lithuanian nobility genetic genealogy testing may help to explain prehistory of the family, confirm family legends, complete black holes in the documentary genealogical research, disclose the relationship to other noble families.
Attention:
Due to the newly introduced privacy settings, many project members became invisible in project charts. Please check and update your privacy settings.

North of Ireland | 10127 | In taking forward its key objective of fostering an interest in family history with special reference to families who have roots in the North of Ireland and their descendants wherever they may be, the North of Ireland Family History Society (NIFHS) has established a project to use DNA testing as an aid to making genealogical connections within and between families whose roots are in the North of Ireland.
The purpose of the project is to
• Promote DNA testing by those whose heritage is from the North of Ireland.
• Offer information, support and training for those who test and manage DNA tests of others.
• Share DNA results to facilitate genealogical connections.
• Carry out research into the DNA of the North of Ireland.
The Society provides volunteer Project Administrators and Co-Administrators who promote and administer the project via branch meetings, local and family history events, social media and other appropriate communication channels to Society members, their families and members of the public with North of Ireland roots.
The project covers Y-DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and autosomal DNA (atDNA). To aid the analysis of results, standards of testing and the efficiency of support the project promotes testing through FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA), although not exclusively. Discounts are available from FTDNA if orders are placed through the DNA project.
The Society runs regular courses on DNA testing for beginners, intermediates and advanced learners. Details are available at www.nifhs.org/resources/courses. If you have attended our DNA courses you are welcome to join our monthly DNA interest group. Its purpose is to educate, to give people an opportunity to work on their matches and to learn from each other.

RomanyDNA | 208 | Romani, Gitano, Kale, Rom & Sinti Y-DNA, mtDNA, & autosomal (Family Finder) INTERNATIONAL project. Members must be descended from actual (real) Romani: Manouche, Gitano, Kale or Rom / Sinti, دومي families.
You could have had, in the past 100 to 500 years, a Romany ancestor, as you surely also had for example an Italian, a Greek, an African, a Scandinavian, etc. but this does not mean you belong to an Italian or Greek DNA Project !
In the same way, if your Romany DNA is NOT "REALLY" relevant, you do not belong to a proper Rom DNA project. This must be very clear.
Do NOT join without providing the following information or you will be **REJECTED**:
<< NO REMOTE Romany DNA people with too low South Asia DNA % and matching only few known people at less than 11cM. This kind of join requests will be rejected. Romany population is Endogamous: You need to have a "considerable" South Asia DNA and to match * MANY! * actual "verified" Romany families ABOVE 11cM SINGLE SEGMENT! >>
* * * JOIN REQUESTS' RULES : * * *
ATTENTION --> For security & to protect our members' privacy and results we *MUST* have some information to process your Join request, otherwise you join request will be surely REJECTED:
1. Did you test Autosome? Sometimes we "could" need your GEDMATCH.com Kit number to check if you belong to this project *BEFORE* to accept any Join request. Specially if you are American or English because we have too many request as it is a trend in US/UK. So, if you have one, please write your [ GedMatch kit ] in the Join request “notes” and send it to us *BEFORE JOINING* !
2. Please tell us something about your own family root!: where are you from? What is your Clan or family?
3. Are you Romany or NOT? (if you are adoptive, we are happy to help).
4. Why do you "think" you belong to the Romany DNA (Rom/Sinti/Kale/Gitani) project?
5. Are you Romany with ancestor's birth certificates / documents or just a suspicion, etc?
6. Do you have Romany ancestors or maybe an actual family heritage, spoken Romany chib (language) or, even, just old family tales, hints etc.?
Please reply to this questions when trying to join us.
PLEASE DO NOT! JOIN ONLY FOR A MATCHING SURNAME!
Most surnames listed are shared between Romany and non-Romany families. The RomanyDNA project is not a “*remote* Romany ancestry’s research group” but a specific ethnic DNA research project for verified (or verifiable by DNA) Romany people and Clans (Vitsa). Also, few or small unphased segments’ matches less than 11cM are not valuable for our DNA research project.
After you will be admitted and joined, YOU MUST Opt-in to show results & set project privacy to Advanced or Basic and to show mtDNA "CR" region and your "Origin" to admins.
- Please specify your mtDNA and Y-DNA & in which of the following Asian or Eurasian groups SURNAMES & CLANS you belong (you can tell us your group in the notes if it is not included) : |
