We've just set up a Facebook group to make it easier for you to ask your questions about DNA and how it can help with your own family tree research. The group is open to the general public and anyone can join.
The aim of this group is simple - to encourage people living in Ireland today to have a DNA test.
Six million people live in Ireland today and they hold in their DNA the answer that the 70 million people of the Irish diaspora are asking: where did my Irish ancestors come from?
DNA can be a very powerful tool indeed. It can confirm relationships you didn't know existed, it can break through the Brick Walls you hit in your own research, it can take your family tree back beyond 1800, it can even tell you to what Irish Clan you probably belonged.
And this is only the beginning for DNA - the science is moving so fast that the scientists are running to keep up. And that's where you come in ...
The more people living in Ireland who get tested, the more we will find out about our unique genetic heritage.
An army of genetic genealogists have volunteered to help. Giving of their own time, they have set up DNA projects to help you find out more about your genetic signature, discover the origins of your surname, and connect you with cousins you never knew you had. So help is out there and all you have to do is have a DNA test.
So get tested today!
The greatest book of Irish history is written in your DNA.
