Wales DNA Project

[Ladybug]

Would anyone on this forum recall reading about a DNA Project in Wales? I know I read about it in one of the many DNA Books or web site out there, but at the time didn't think much about it. Now that I have seen that my husband has a 25 marker match with 1 of the 74 in that project, I would like to read about it again. To find out when it was done, and what area, I think it was done at a school there. And a 25 marker match just might be a cousin.

Have you checked the Welsh Patrynomics project at ftdna. I probably messed up the spelling real good but you will recognize it when you see it.

Thanks, I do know about that project. This was in the book "Seven daughters of Eve" I know believe, so I am going to go to the Library and pick that up, and read again. I've read several books on DNA, eventually i'll find it.

What I read about was in the book "Seven Daugters of Eve". And from what I can tell it was a mitachodrial DNA test, but maybe they also took Y-DNA it doesn't say. Any way my husbands match was probably not in that project.
