About us
The objective of this project is to determine the earliest possible known Redmond/Redman ancestor with our Y-DNA profile. All American and European Redmond/Redman males are encouraged to participate in order to compile DNA data and determine which families are related. Using proven genealogies many families hopefully can be proven to be related. All phonetic spellings of Redmond are of interest: e.g. Redman, Redmon, Rodman, etc.
Now with the Family Finder and mtDNA tests, we can also determine our relationship as females. Please be encouraged to order any type of test available through Family Tree DNA through this project!

Almost all of the above surnames immigrated to North-America.
Those surnames in capital letters above reflect the donor surnames we have represented in our project so far.

The ancient Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, says, in speaking of the creation of man (book#1 chapter#1) that "Adam",
in the Hebrew tongue, signifies "one that is red & the first man being made of red earth was therefore called Adam".
In the "Types of Mankind" (page 573) NOTT & GLYDON admit that the word AdAm, consists of 2 words, which,
when applied to man, signify "red man". This may refer to when God created Adam & breather life into him,

REDMOND genealogy researchers investigating such variants as listed above ... & perhaps others,
as we try to link families together in North-America & push ancestry back to our respective European origins.
The REDMOND & variant surnames DNA Project is an effort to ...
- make sense of the varied REDMOND lineages
- define & elaborate on affinity between the various lineages
- help participants open new lines of research to get around brick walls in their family trees
- provide the means to match participants who may be unaware they share a common ancestor,
within a scientifically determined timeframe which may provide the clue to identify their unknown ancestry.
This DNA test is done on a region of the Y-chromosome that has no biological function.
There are no medical or health issues connected to these markers, other than paternity,
so there are no more privacy issues for this set of numbers than there is for the public awareness of one's surname.
These markers are useful only for genealogical or anthropological research.
Even so, your results will not be associated with you by name if you join the project. How to Join:
* Current Family Tree DNA Customers - Go to your Family Tree DNA personal page.
At the top of the page, next to your name & kit #, click on the blue icon labeled "Join".
This will bring you to a page with the title "Group Join".
In the search engine box, type "REDMOND" & click to go to the relevant page.
* National Geographic's Genographic Project members -
Any one who has been tested by the Genographic Project can upload their results for free to Family Tree DNA & then join projects.
To upload your results to Family Tree DNA, go to your Genographic Project "Results" page.
At the bottom of that page it says "To learn more about your family history". Click on that & follow the steps & your results
will be added to Family Tree DNA's database. Then use the instructions above for Current Family Tree DNA Customers.

A study conducted at Trinity-College in Ireland,Dublin found that a striking percentage of men in Ireland
(& quite a few in Scotland) share the same Y chromosome, suggesting that the 5th-century High King of Ireland,
Niall Noigíallach d=abt.450 (also known as "Niall of the 9 Hostages") may be the ancestor of 1 in 12 Irishmen.
Niall established a dynasty of powerful chieftains that dominated the island for 6 centuries.
