Donegal DNA
« on: Sunday 29 March 15 12:17 BST (UK) »
The County Donegal DNA Project Page is now set up on www.FamilyTreeDNA.com, for those who have taken DNA tests.
The purpose of the County Donegal DNA Project will be to promote and encourage the use of genetics in genealogy in order to prove family relationships in County Donegal.
The Project will be aimed at Donegal people living in Donegal with a Donegal pedigree (at least four grandparents) and would include Donegal people in Derry; Strabane; and other adjoining border towns.
It is not for those who may have some Donegal ancestry. However in the long term it should be beneficial to those who may have some Donegal ancestry
The DNA results of all members will be available to see and compare. In addition you will be able to post to the page and ask questions about the results.
Contact can be made at donegaldna[AT]gmail.com.

The People we test must have a Donegal Pedigree. However those who have tested elsewhere and have a reasonable Donegal Pedigree will be admitted

Hi, thanks for replying.
Tested with FTDNA and found a significant amount of matches (autosomal) from Donegal, Quinn, McLaughlin, McGlynn, Given, Duffy, Lafferty, Boyle, and more, most about 4th or 5th generations+ so quite a distance.
Definately from my scottish maternal side from West & SW Scotland probably the Ulster plantations? No family tree to Ulster, rather hoping to a connection from Ulster to Scotland but I think that the time distance is too great so I will not be able to contribute to your project except for my autosomal DNA.

Hi all - i am interested in this thread for two reasons -
I have two  family lines back to Donegal - both probably from Scottish planters.
McClure from Killynure/Convoy and Creighton/Craiton/Crayton from who knows where in Donegal.

Secondly i have had my DNA done thru FTDNA.

Is this enough to be involved - where to from here?

cheers

Jack

I cannot see a match in FTDNA in my Family Finder (autosomal) DNA.
If you have tested your autosomal then it looks like we do not match.
