How does one have a look at the Breifne Clans project page? I'm Sheridan and O' Reilly-have a feeling they might be a large part of that project. Can anyone help me on thhis? Thanks!

( Male - Female) - Surname Galligan Pádraig, I started a Cullivan DNA project group because none had been created yet. It is starting slow, but I've had further inquiries and interest, so I expect it will grow as knowledge about Genealogy DNA testing increases. You could start your own Galligan DNA Surname Group, even if you do not have the Galligan Y-DNA - you would simply want to get someone who does have it tested. Galligans who have joined those other projects listed at Family Tree DNA can also join the Galligan project - everyone can join two projects. Even if those Galligans don't join, you get to see who matches your DNA string of interest from the whole database of testers who have signed an agreement to allow their results to be shared. [Keep in mind it is pretty easy to start a project. I knew next to nothing, and although it seems intimidating, I was able to accomplish it fairly well.] I joined the Yahoo Group for DNA-Newbies to learn more about this whole thing. I lurk most of the time and only read the occasional email, but it is worth joining. If you joined you could ask about Galligan projects. You might get other places to look sent to you. You can look at the Cullivan project here: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_det.aspx?group=Cullivan There is also an interesting "Breifne Clans" project that the Cullivan members have joined, since it "is to establish Y-DNA profiles for the early Breifne Clans" of the 12th Century (covering counties Cavan and Leitrim).
