DNA Surname Project


Welcome to the Future of Genealogy



This DNA Project was started September 07, 2003:

I have always wondered about the origins of my ancestors in Mexico.  
In 1998 I started "The Genealogy of Mexico" website with this in mind.  
It has always been my hope that information shared would lead us to 
the genealogical answers we seek.   

With new advances in science it is possible to determine our ancient 
origins and see who we are related to. 

Join us on our journey. The story of our ancestors.

discuss the Mexico DNA Project with us. 


How We All Are Related

In the years just after the Conquest of Mexico, the Native-American 
population was decimated by disease and war leaving a relatively small 
gene pool of Native-American and Iberian ancestors. 

It is estimated that half the adult male population of Iberia set 
out to colonize two continents. Many of these early conquistadors 
set out to the Americas with relatives or sent for relatives upon 
settling. 

The ancestors of most of the current male genetic lines of Mexico 
would have settled in Mexico within a hundred or so years of the 
Conquest. This project will attempt to link us to these early 
conquistadors.

Within each of us our ancestors have left clues about our ancient 
origins and our family lines.


DNA Studies

DNA studies on Mexican-Americans show a higher European admixture. 
*Anthropologist Andrew Merriwether and colleagues conducted a study on 
Mexican-Americans living in Colorado. Using classic genetic markers they 
estimated an admixture of 67% European and 33% Native-American. 

He further tested their mitochondrial DNA (mtdna) which is a test to find 
the origins of your great, great...grandmother, going back 10's of 
thousands of years. This one ancestor which is your families "Eve" so to 
speak, showed up as Native-American 85% of the time and European in 
origin 15% of the time. Thus showing that the majority of unions in this 
admixture were of European males and Native-American females. 

Other findings in Mexico showed varying results depending for the most 
part on what the cultural influences were on the population under study.

What DNA Will Tell Us

* With DNA testing today we can determine our ancient origins. This is done
  by examining DNA handed down strictly from father to son or DNA handed
  down strictly from Mother to daughter, going back thousands of years. 
  These tests are called the Y-dna and mtdna tests respectively. 

* With the Y-dna test we can also determine if two people with the same 
  surname have a   Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) within 7 
  generations, with a 50% probability or 23 generations (around the time of 
  the Conquest) at a 90% probability. 

* We can determine if our surname goes back to the Conquistadors by 
  comparing our markers with someone with a proven Y-dna line to 
  the Conquistadors. 

* We can begin to put together the pieces of Native American lines which 
  have been particularly hard to trace conventionally. 

* Now we can know if others on a surname message board are related to 
  us or not. 

Genealogy made easy! 

* NEW! See the NBC Today Show segment on FTDNA (the company used 
  in our testing) entitled Family tree project helps trace deep history.

mysteries.


How Can We See if We are Related

In order to join the "Genealogy of Mexico Surname Project" and get a 
discount just CLICK HERE TO JOIN. 

This project is also open to those wanting to test their maternal lines 
that extend to Mexico. Everyone has mtdna from their Mother which can 
determine the origins of this line (Mothers Mothers ... Mothers line).

Initially FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) had a database of about 130 tests 
from those of Mexican ancestry. These samples were part of Geneticist 
Dr. Michael Hammer's world wide database. These 12 marker tests were 
confirmed by SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). Since this time
Hispanic participation has increased dramatically (into the thousands)
In addition we can compare your results to over 5,400 hispanic YDNA 
records from public databases. The results of your testing will be 
used by FamilyTreeDNA for comparison on your FTDNA pages. 

FamilyTreeDNA stores your sample for 25 years. This makes ordering 
new tests easy.

Click here for FamilyTreeDNA's Tutorial on the whole process as well
as how to interpret the results.


The Procedure and Results

By painlessly swabbing the inside of your mouth, enough DNA is 
collected to determine where in the world your ancestral line goes back 
strictly from father to son. Your ancestral "Adam", with regard to your 
family line. 

There were one of 18 ancestors going back thousands of years, spread 
throughout the world that each of us could call our ancestral father. 
These 18 different ancient ones were the origin of each clan called a 
haplogroup (representing haplogroups A through R). List of some Y-dna 
 haplogroups and their origin. 
For haplogroup migrations through Europe  click here.

Since part of our Y chromosome DNA is passed from father to son 
relatively unchanged for 1000's of years we can determine what 
haplogroup we belong to as well as narrow down the possibility of 2 
people having a common male ancestor (12 marker test). Other parts of 
our Y chromosome DNA can change over a few generations (additional 
markers for the 25 or 37 marker test) thus narrowing down the search 
even more.

Frequently Asked Questions  about FamilyTreeDNA's testing.

When you get your results it will come in the form of four web pages. 

Click here for an example. 

* On the first page will be your DNA markers with an estimate of your haplo-
  group, based on the confirmed haplogroup of your nearest matches. 

* The next page will be the haplogroup(s) of your closest matches, the 
  countries they come from and any further comments. Click here for an 
  example.

* The third page is called "Recent Ethnic Origins". This page lists the 
  ethnic origins of the people who are your closest matches. In other words 
  what areas of the world they come from. Click here for an example.
  from the Campbell surname project.

* The last page is of your Y-dna matches and their email addresses, 
  if a release form was signed. This page as well as pages 2 and 3 are 
  updated every 2 weeks or so.

You will be notified by email as 12, 25 or 37 marker matches occur. 
You will also receive a certificate with your markers and additional 
information. 

Your test results will be posted below if you like. You decide if you 
would like to remain anonymous or what information you will share. 
Additional surname tables will be created as necessary.

For those with the same surname, marker matches over the first 12 are 
utilized by comparing yours with others, in order to look for more 
recent relationships. There is another database (Ysearch) 
incorporated into the tables allowing us to compare markers online. 
By clicking on the search buttons next to the participants name 
(provided the participant has posted their results) you are able to 
see the genetic distance between the participant and their closest 
genetic matches. 

For Ysearch those with a genetic distance of 3 or less on 25
or more "markers compared" is significant.

According to FTDNA markers in red are fast mutating.
