The former Project Administrators, Terry and Marilyn Barton, retired in May 2018.  That left the Project orphaned.

 Knowing how important it is to continue to learn more about our Patrick ancestors. 

This project was a picked up and restarted by Betty McGuire (2018-2022).

* Racism and trolling will not be tolerated.

PROJECT Administrators also manage a autosomal Patrick Surname Group at Gedmatch for all our friends 

that have Patrick ancestors, but not Patrick YDNA.

We also manage an Patrick Surname Facebook group.

Unit 2 --- (Betty McQuire and) Beth Bellerose’s ancestors are from haplogroup I-M253>Z2541. 

R-M269 Clan1  --- Kelly Parks’ ancestors are from haplogroup R-M269>U106 which is not really Patrick\

 Y-DNA, they share surnames Barnes, Howell, Barron, Warburton, Dutton. Kelly’s ancestors are found in 

Wayne County GA before 1820. Howell’s was of Talbort/Jasper GA and Edgecombe/Halifax NC.  

Barron’s was of Jackson County GA and Edgecombe NC.  A Norman knight named Odard took the Dutton 

name from the location of his main residence and 200 years later one of his descendants built a manor at 

Warburton and took the Warburton name.

Project Administrators and Assistants are not FTDNA employees, they are volunteers.

They do not receive any form of financial payment or any other incentive or reimbursement for their work.  

Project Administrators are responsible for the content on the Project websites.  

Organization of DNA kits into subgroups and naming of those groups is done by Project Administrators after analyzing the c

omparative results.  

Placement of DNA kits within the subgroups is dictated by FTDNA STR mutation programming and cannot 

be altered by project administrators.  

Project Administrators have indicated the primary haplogroup branch and SNPs in the 

subgroup tites,where applicable, and have activated the SNP RESULTS display page.
