INDIA-PAKISTAN-DNA Mailing List (Archived on RootsWeb)

For the discussion and sharing of information regarding Indian and Pakistani subcontinent DNA including related information available from existing DNA projects through any testing company.

Iowa DNA Project

The Iowa DNA Project welcomes all of those with a connection to the State of Iowa. This project uses genetic genealogy to connect DNA cousins to surnames (or variants) in our family tree database using historical records and other facts. The Iowa DNA Project focuses primarily on Family Finder test results to connect known and prospective DNA cousins, and their collateral lineages.

Iowa DNA Project (FamilyTreeDNA)

This is a Geographic Project that welcomes all of those with a connection to the State of Iowa. This project facilitates connecting DNA cousins to surnames (or variants) in our family tree database using historical records and other facts. The Iowa DNA Project focuses primarily on Family Finder test results to connect known and prospective DNA cousins, and their collateral lineages. Testing yDNA and mtDNA is also encouraged. If you would like to join, you must have, or be willing to, test to at least Family Finder level with Family Tree DNA, or have transferred your results from another testing organization to Family Tree DNA.

Lippe Detmold, DE (FamilyTreeDNA)

The scope and purpose of this Geographical DNA Project is to offer help to those reseachers who can either trace their ancestral roots to, or currently live in what was the former Principality of Lippe. Although there is a German DNA Project, the Lippe Detmold Project is designed to offer a more confined geographical area of research. Currently Lippe consists of roughly 481 square miles, this is walking distance. I originally started a DNA SURNAME PROJECT, which I still administer. Due to the German practice of changing surnames with the transfer of real-estate, either by purchase or inheritance through a female spouse, this project made sense to me. Historically Lippe has existed as a country since 1123 and was once an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire,later, it was incorporated into Prussia. Lippe was elevated to the satus of Principality from 1789 to 1949, it is now part of the state North Rhein-Westphalia. In the 19th Century 20,000 people from Lippe emigrated to the the Americas, mostly to the United States and Canada.

Mapping the Icelandic Genome

An anthropology of the scientific, political, economic, religious, and ethical issues surrounding the deCode Project and its global implications. Iceland has a series of distinctive characteristics which make it suitable for such mapping. Its population is relatively small (today 275,000 but as low as 50,000 in the recent past). There exist an unusually complete set of family records in Iceland (over 80% of all Icelandic people who ever lived can be placed genealogically on a computerized database).

Melungeon DNA Project (FamilyTreeDNA)

NETHERLANDS Dual DNA Project - Y-DNA and mtDNA results from the Netherlands (FamilyTreeDNA)

This DNA Project welcomes all people with direct Y-DNA or mtDNA heritage in the Netherlands. The "Netherlands Dual DNA Project" compiles and studies both mtDNA and Y-DNA test results for genealogic purposes, we also aim to connect individuals interested in exploring their family history and promote the use of genetic testing to assist genealogical research.
