About us
The main goal for the Afghan-Pakistani project is to understand the origin and make up of Y-DNA and mtDNA lines in Afghanistan and Pakistan
We have the following main goals:
1. Understand the ancient origin and Y-DNA and mtDNA genetic make up.
2. Map out the genetic paternal and maternal lines of people of Afghanistan and Pakistan
3. Grouping of our members with their closest genetic cousins within the same haplogroup.

4. Identify tribal- and ethnic-specific lines.
5. Identify relationships from the time of the appearance of pre-Indo-Iranian cultures, early Indo-Iranian (Aryan) and other ancient groups such as Turkic-Mongolics, Dravidians, Burushaski, Tibetics all the way to the genealogical time-frame (last 1000 years).
6. Verify or debunk certain myths, such as, Greek ancestry in Dardics or Jewish in Pashtuns
7. Help members who need help with their results as well as questions about where their lineage may hail from.
We would like to keep our project growing by testing new members. Feel free to support our project by clicking the DONATE link on the left. Funds can only be used to purchase tests at FamilyTreeDNA! Group administrators are not in any way affiliated with FTDNA. We are unpaid volunteers who have an interest in the history and genealogy of a geographic region, haplogroups, as well as helping project members with any questions they might have.
