The Maine Gaeltacht project, established in October 2011, invites documented Irish descendants with Maine roots or connections to join the project. We especially encourage testers with County Galway ancestry to join our project. By joining this project, you'll hopefully connect with relatives throughout the world, especially in Ireland. If you don't know your ancestor's townland or county of origin in Ireland, this simple swab of a cheek test may help you with this often difficult problem in Irish genealogy.
In Maine, we find that Irish from the same place of origin tended to cluster together. Portland, for instance, was a hub for immigrants from County Galway. Once an immigrant established themselves, they often helped the next Irish man or woman to emigrate - a relative, friend or neighbor. It's important to know that Irish immigrants could have arrived in America through various seaports. They may have come through an eastern seaport of Canada, Boston, New York or even New Orleans. Some Irish came directly to Maine only to move elsewhere at a later time, leaving some of their relatives behind in Maine.
The Maine Irish Heritage Center is partnered with the Carna Emigrant and Diaspora Centre in Carna, Galway. Be sure to visit their site.
This project is an autosomal DNA project. Our project members use the \"Family Finder\" test product to find and connect with relatives who have also \"Family Finder\" tested. An autosomal DNA test is good at detecting relatedness out to about 5th cousins. We also encourage male participants who have a documented paternal line link to County Galway to test their YDNA and female participants with a documented direct maternal line link to County Galway to test their mtDNA.

If you've already tested with Ancestry or 23andme(v3), you can transfer your results.
Project: Northern Neck-VA":1,"#Under Development This project has been setup to find common Dna groups in the Sikh community":1,"#La généalogie par ADN offre de nouvelles avenues à l'histoire des populations en vertu du développement toujours plus poussé de puissants outils scientifiques. Le Projet Québec ADNy constitue un projet indépendant, qui bénéficie cependant du soutien officiel d'organismes tels que la American Canadian Genealogical Society (ACGS), la Fédération des associations de familles du Québec (FAFQ) et la Société d'histoire des Filles du roy (SHFR). Québec ADNy travaille également en association avec la Société de généalogie de Québec. Un atelier de généalogie par ADN est offert avec son concours depuis l'automne 2017 et une collaboration a été mise sur pied à l'occasion des célébrations du 400e anniversaire de l'établissement de la famille de Louis Hébert et Marie Rollet. Le Projet Québec ADNy tisse en outre des relations avec le public plus général, comme en témoignent ses apparitions publiques (p. ex.le Salon de la FADOQ à Québec). Ces manifestations illustrent l'intérêt grandissant des Québécois pour les avancées de la généalogie génétique et son exploitation aux fins de l'histoire des familles et des collectivités. Toute famille est invitée à participer à ce projet, qu'elle soit ou non membre d'organismes. Au minimum, il suffit de deux personnes pour établir la signature ancestrale d'un fondateur. Le Projet Québec ADNy recherche les signatures ancestrales propres aux pionniers qui ont peuplé la vallée du Saint-Laurent, aujourd'hui très généralement de langue française. En raison des traits historiques, démographiques et linguistiques qui caractérisent le Québec, ce Projet s'occupe plus particulièrement d'origines liées à la Nouvelle-France. Québec ADNy souhaite identifier toute souche patrilinéaire arrivée sur le territoire avant 1785. Il sera également exigé des membres de présenter leur ascendance documentée. Le Projet Québec ADNy ne se limite toutefois pas seulement aux ancêtres de France. Toute ascendance patrilinéaire émanant de la vallée du Saint-Laurent, foyer historique que recouvre ici l'emploi du toponyme « Québec », est la bienvenue dans ce Projet, que cette ascendance soit acadienne, allemande, amérindienne, britannique, irlandaise, suisse, etc. Un objectif principal de ce Projet est l'établissement des signatures ADNy ancestrales, lesquelles sont parfois documentées depuis l'époque de Samuel de Champlain. La nature particulière de l'histoire des familles du Québec justifie que des projets lui soient exclusivement consacrés et ne soient pas dilués dans l'importante diaspora qui se revendique de France (Huguenots, Antilles, Créoles de Louisiane, etc.). Le projet Québec ADNy se penche spécifiquement sur la population du Québec, tout comme le projet Québec ADNmt (https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/quebecmtdna/about), lequel s'intéresse aux signatures ancestrales transmises par les femmes (Québec ADNmt se trouve sous l'onglet MT DNA GEOGRAPHICAL PROJECTS). Le français est la langue employée par défaut par les administrateurs du Projet. L'usage de l'anglais ne pose d'autre part aucun problème. La dimension francophone du Québec explique que la généalogie génétique y soit méconnue en comparaison des populations voisines anglophones. Ce Projet invite les historiens de famille du Québec à se mettre au diapason et intégrer une méthodologie déjà populaire hors de nos frontières. (ENGLISH VERSION) The Quebec yDNA Project studies the ancestral signatures typical of the pioneers that originally settled the St. Lawrence Valley. Given the distinct historical, demographic and linguistic features characterizing Quebec, the Project's main focus is on pioneers whose roots date back to New France. All relevant lineages are welcome to this project. Establishing an ancestral signature actually requires a minimum of two relevant participants. The Project is not limited to roots from France, though. Lineages whose past is connected to the mainly French-speaking St. Lawrence Valley, herein referred to as Quebec for purpose of simplicity, are all welcome to this Project, be they Native, British, Irish, German, Swiss, etc. One major goal of this Quebec yDNA Project is the uncovering of the ancestral yDNA signatures typical of lineages whose documented history may reach the Champlain era (1604-1635) in North America. A mirror project (Quebec mtDNA Project) focuses on the other hand on signatures inherited from female pioneers (please find under the MT GEOGRAPHICAL PROJECTS tab).":1,"#The HOGAN Surname Project at FamilyTreeDNA welcomes those who have Hogan ancestry. We are volunteer Administrators and Hogan genealogists. NOTE: This DNA project is with FTDNA company and is not associated in any form with a Facebook group listed as Hogan family or HOGAN DNA. The HOGAN family Surname DNA Project uses Y DNA, Autosomal DNA and MtDNA testing to find matches between participants that enable them to achieve their goals in Genealogical research. Various spellings: Hogan, Hogane, Hogans, Hogen, Hoggan, Hoggans, Hogin, Hogins, Hogon, O'Hogan. NOTE: To participate in this FTDNA project DNA testers will be asked to change their Privacy and Sharing settings on their DNA kit for Administrators to view their matches “Limited Access” or “Advanced Access” in order to group charts and also their results to Sharing with other matches \"Opt In To Sharing\".

These consist of the Villas of Camargo, Reynosa, Revilla, Mier, Laredo, and Dolores. The lists of original settlers are well documented and present a ready opportunity to connect descendants who wish to know their ancestry, paths of migration, and DNA origins. Descendants are concentrated and dispersed from this region to other areas of South Texas, Northeast Mexico and beyond. Regarding DNA, there is an avid interest to bring a more specific focus to specifically address this group. We believe FamilyTreeDNA provides the right platform to deliver these services.":1,"#TainoDescendantsofPR is searching for those Puerto Ricans or Puerto Rican descendants of parents or grandparents from Puerto Rico having American Indian origins.

We're against establishing gambling facilities but in favor of acquiring our ancestral prosperity through the \"Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990\" to have ancestral remains and artifacts return to us by museums, including re-acquiring public lands to establish timber and fishing industries to improve quality of life and the economy of Puerto Rico. DPRFN favors federal funds for housing, education, and medical care to assist our poor but we must first receive federal recognition. We hope you'll join us in this historic endeavor as Taino descendants who's ancestors first encountered Columbus.":1,"#The Fernandes Family Project seeks to find common heritage through sharing of information and DNA testing. Any variant spellings are welcome. Due to the fact that surnames in families of Iberian origin are often inherited matrilineally, mtDNA results will also be included in this project and women are encouraged to join the project, too. O projeto da família Fernandes busca encontrar ancestrais comuns através do compartilhamento de informações e de testes de DNA. Quaisquer variações do sobrenome são bem-vindas. Devido ao fato de famílias de origens ibéricas muitas vezes herdarem sobrenomes pela linha feminina, resultados de DNA mitocondrial também serão incluídos neste projeto.":1,"#Elaine Zimmer nee Fox (Fuchs)":1,"#236d":1,"#182d":1,"#U5a1a1cq":1,"#F4903132":1,"#C.
