FYI: The O'SHIELDS surname has been added to the SHIELDS/SHEILDS, and variants Y-DNA PROJECT. If anyone is interested in learning more, please check out this website. We already have one result and 2 partial results of participants. Participants have Ireland and Scotland connectionns. Hope a male with the O'Shields surname can join the project. It has been said that O'Shields is of the same family grouping, and this would be one way to prove it. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~grannyapple/SHIELDS%20DNA/SHIELDS%2 0DNA%20HOME.html or access via this to get to the other: http://tinyurl.com/hogf
