About us
To see all Ireland yDNA Project results, please set the number of results shown to 10,000 or higher.
The Ireland yDNA Project welcomes males who have (i) done a y-chromosome DNA test (yDNA test) AND who also have (ii) Irish ancestry on their own paternal line. Transfers of yDNA results from the National Genographic Project (Geno 2.0) are welcome. Transfers of y-haplogroup results from any other DNA companies are not accepted as they are not transferable to FTDNA. Please note that this is a yDNA Project only, therefore members need to have done a yDNA test to be eligible for membership. We focus only on yDNA in this project.
Please use the "Join Projects" link, if you wish to join this project. You will need to send us a request to join and we hope you will take the opportunity to tell us about your paternal line and why you want to join. We them process your request.
Check that you have done a yDNA test and that you have Irish lineage on your own paternal line.
Don't worry if your surname is not listed, all men with Irish ancestry on their paternal line are welcome to join the project provided they do a yDNA test. We can add relevant surnames to the list. [updated September 2021]
