The Black Belt of Alabama DNA Project now connected to the African American Griot Legacy Project (AAGLP) was intended to use DNA as a tool for African Americans researching their central Alabama roots. It started with earlier members who can trace their male (Y-DNA) or female (MtDNA) ancestry to Dallas, Marengo, Perry or Wilcox counties (or to areas that border these counties) in the period from about 1840 through 1880. It continues to focus in this research while at the same time connecting to the broader research of the African American Legacy Project breaking down brick walls as a result of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

Everyone with roots in East Prussia is welcome to join the group! Situated at the Baltic Sea, East Prussia, home of the West Baltic Prussen since BC, had been conquered by the Order of the German Knights in the 13. century and had become by line of succession part of Brandenburg/Preussen, later of Germany. Since 1945 it is devided between Russia and Poland and the former citizens now live mainly in Germany but also in many other part of the world. Ein herzliches Willkommen an alle Ostpreussen und deren Nachfahren!

For Family Finder, Y-DNA, and/or mtDNA kits whose ancestor/s lived in Farifield County SC, USA for some time or some generations.

This DNA Project is hosted by the Huxford Genealogical Society (Homerville, Georgia).

Welcome to the Jewish Ukraine West Y-DNA and mtDNA project. The project is open to anyone with Jewish ancestors from Western Ukraine or Moldova. The region includes the Gubernias of Podolia, Volhynia, Kiev, and Kherson as well as Bessarabia.

This Project is designed to discover the Male Y-DNA patterns of the Caldwell Parish & Catahoula Parish, male settlers. The Project goal is to connect the correct Y-DNA pattern and Paternal Haplogroup to each Surname. To best benefit this project, a male descendant of an early settler of Caldwell Parish and/or Catahoula Parish, will need to be Y-DNA tested. The Y-DNA for this project must be tested through FTDNA. It takes a while to get the results in, so it is best to order the Y-DNA testing kit as soon as possible. Once the result come back this project will need to be joined through your FTDNA account. It is better to have the oldest living male descendant Y-DNA tested, but you are not able to do this, then just have a male descendant of the region described Y-DNA tested.We Will Also document the Mitochondrial DNA and Surname for males of these regions that have had their Maternal lines tested. through FTDNA.

The Mixon project seeks to find common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing. All variant spellings are welcome.

This DNA Project is hosted by the St Tammany (Louisiana) Genealogical Society and is for living descendants of the pioneers of the West Florida Parishes of Louisiana and the neighboring areas of Mississippi.
