Why join a project? 1/You get access to more information. 2/ You give others the ability to find you, so it is not all down to you. 3/ The Activity Feed in this project is very busy and a good place to ask questions. In general people should be members of three types of projects. A) A geographical project such as this. B) a surname project if there is one, C) At least one and perhaps more than one haplogroup projects. This project was started in Feb 2016.It's purpose was finding origins of surnames and DNA groups in Great Britain in England, Scotland, Wales and indeed Ireland. We hope to answer a number of different questions about the settlement of the British Isles. Great Britain is the largest island in the British isles which is why it is called great. England, Scotland and Wales can be looked at within modern political boundaries and there are projects for Scotland and Wales. This project takes a different approach ignoring modern political boundaries. It allows us to see all the British information in one concentrated place. Please note, unless you allow Admin to see your results by having your settings at least to LIMITED ACCESS we will not be able to do this. So if you are of English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish background you are welcome to join. The British Isles are dominated by the R1b haplogroup. This project gives emphasis to minority groups such as E, G, I and J. Other minority groups such as R1a and T are also welcome. Indeed if you are R1b you are also welcome! Place name surnames such as those ending -ton, -ham, -ford, -ley, -bridge, -worth, -stone, -well, -bridge, -by, -bury, -caster, -ing, -thorpe, -thwaite, -ey, -stow, cliff,-hill, -wick etc are particularly welcome. You can only join if you have tested with FTDNA Familytreedna If you are asking a question please give your kit number and haplogroup. Please do not send questions to our individual email addresses; they will not be answered. There are many pages in this project, try resetting your lines per page and searching your name or kit number to get to your information quickly. This is a gracious project, so be polite. Bad behaviour is not tolerated and regrettably sometimes people have to be removed.
