Information on the DNA Project

“The Gallagher Family Project welcomes all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and dna testing. All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing and should be included, we'll be glad to add it. Please visit our website http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/g/gallagher/ and add your family to the Patriarch Page.

Surnames in the Project so far:
Galaghar, Galagher, Galgher, Galicer, Gallachar, Gallacher, Gallager, Gallaghar, Gallagher, Gallaher, Gallaugher, Gallegher, Galliher, Gallinger, Golagher, Goleher, Golliher

Requirements:

A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname.
Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project“.
