Hi Everyone, One of the purposes of the British Quakers DNA project is to gather all Quaker names together in one location. That way, instead of searching Ysearch (which I also like, by the way) and FTDNA's site by each of the surnames you are interested in, you can just go to the British Quakers DNA site. Of course, it is a relatively new project, so it will take time to add more names. But be sure and check it out! And more importantly, if you contact someone from one of the surname projects, please tell them to add themselves to the British Quaker DNA site (free to add yourself if you've already taken the test with FTDNA). As long as they've traced their Quaker line back to Colonial America or anywhere in the British Isles, they can join up. I also welcome Quaker surnames to add to the project list. My list is FAR FROM COMPLETE!!!

If one obtains their DNA report from another source, are we able to donate the resulting information to the British Quakers DNA project?
