A DUKE Family History and Y-DNA Genealogy Research
Family history from Belfast, India and England and my Y-DNA research from father to son.
-
The main known branches of the Daglish family originate from County Durham and Northumberland in the United Kingdom, and most living Daglishes can trace their ancestors back to these English counties. Through the DNA project we hope to look at these different branches and compare for common ancestors.The surname directories show Daglish as a variant of Scottish names Dalglish or Dalgliesh - but so far it has been difficult to confirm this through standard family history research; we hope the DNA project might help to provide the answer.The DNA test works on the Y-chromosome which is passed down through the male line (in much the same way as surnames). The Y-chromosone is likely to remain unchanged for many generations, but occasionally the code will 'mutate' creating small differences, and this is also useful for family history. For testing we therefore need living male members of the Daglish family. There is another DNA test which follows the maternal line - but this is not directly relevant for our study.

Using Y chromosome DNA testing to determine the relationships between men with the surname Daniel, and variant spellings including Daniels, Dannel, Daniell, O'Daniel, McDaniel, etc. The goals of the project are to determine the relationships between families in the United States and other countries and to trace the lines of participants to related lines in Europe.

The purpose of this project is to determine possible relationships between different DAVENPORT family lines (worldwide, not just the US). DAVENPORT, DEVENPORT, DANFORTH.

The purpose of this project is to facilitate placing orders for Y-DNA test kits to be used by males surnamed Dean and to coordinate the results from those tests. Using these results may enable us to reinforce or disprove theories regarding our male DEAN ancestors. We also hope to build a Y-DNA database which will enable us to identify various DEAN ancestral lines. At present we have 111 subjects in the surname project: 30 with no matches and 18 groups with two or more matches. This makes 48 distinctly different genetic lines with the surname Dean or a variation of Dean - amazing!

DeGRAAF DeGRAFF Genealogy and Y-DNA
The DeGRAAF and DeGRAFF (plus various spellings) Surname DNA Project was initiated to help identify and group our family lineages. This is a newly formed group. We are looking for additional participants. Individuals interested in collaborating on family history and using genetic testing to assist our research efforts are encouraged to join. If you are a male with one of the included surnames and are interested in researching your direct paternal line further, you can participate. This project study is using the DNA test that looks at a portion of the DNA called the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is unique to males and can be used to identify one's direct paternal line. For this reason females cannot contribute directly but can find a male relative (father, brother, cousin, etc) to be tested as a representative of her line. Additionally, anyone related to a person with a surname who is included in our surnames of interest and willing to share their paper trail ancestry findings are invited to join. Visit our site and click 'Request Membership' to join. Our surnames of interest include; DEGRAAF, DEGRAFF, DE GRAAF, DE GRAFF, DE GRAAFF, DEGRAAFF, DEGROFF, DEGRAF, DEGRAEF, VAN DE GRAAF, VAN DER GRAAF, DE GRAFFE, DIJKGRAAF, GRAAF, DYKGRAAF.

For the discussion and sharing of information regarding the DNA Project for the Denney surname and variations (e.g., Denny).
-
The study includes families that bear any variation of the surname Devine, including Divine, Devine, Diven, Ó Duibhín, Ó Daimhín, DeVine, DeWine, Davin, Dwane and Duane.
-
A collaborative effort linking various branches of the Dewhi/urst surname back as far as we can go - even to Viking roots! Test results will be posted, compared and associated to family trees where possible to show likely familial connections.

DICKASON/IN/ER/ENSON/DIXON DNA Project
Surname Project including 25 Y-DNA testers. Many spelling variants. Five distinctly separate groups of DICKASON & variants. Most from England. Link also to excellent DICKASON name history. See also separate DIXON Surname Project.
-
Surname DNA project for DIXON, DICKSON, DIXSON, or any reasonable variant.
-
For the discussion and sharing of information regarding the Dooley surname and variations (e.g., Dewley, Doolin, Doolen, Doolan, Dooling, Dooly, Dula, Duley, Dulin, Dulen, Dulan, Duling, Duly) in any place and at any time. Both family history and DNA testing are within the scope of the list. Archives: browse or search.

This project is open to any male with the surname Dorsey, Darsey, Dossey, D'Arcy or other variant spellings. Objectives: To determine whether the surname Dorsey has one or several origins and whether families with the surnames D’Arcy, Darsey, Dossey, Dorse, and Dawsey and other variant spellings share a common origin with any or all Dorsey family lines.2) To determine whether and how the various undocumented Dorseys of the South are connected to each other and/or to descendants of Edward Darcy of Virginia and Maryland. 3) To look for possible minor variations among individuals that might group Dorsey descendants into patrilineal lines thus helping 'stray Dorseys'to find their lines. 4.) To recruit Dorsey/Darsey/D'Arcy (etc) males from Ireland and England in an attempt to pinpoint origins of American Dorsey lines. (Australians too!).

Several English and Germanic Doss families have emigrated to America in the past 400 years. The Doss DNA Project’s goals are to (1) determine the unique haplotypes of each Doss immigrant, and (2) identify those of each distinct English and Germanic family. This information, used in conjunction with research conducted by dozens of descendants, will enable us to forge a genetic link with our European kin, previously unattainable through research in historic documents, and help us to firmly establish our immigrant origins. Please visit our website to learn more.Variant spellings include: Dawes, Daws, Dors, Dorse, Doss, and Dosse.

DUBOSE-DUBOIS Surname y-DNA Project
DUBOSE, DUBOIS, DUBOISE, DUBOICE, DUBOYS, DUBOSC, and other surname variants are welcome to join this Y-DNA paternal project. Many people with these surnames descend from Isaac DUBOSC and Suzanne COUILLANDEAU, French Huguenot refugees who settled on the Santee River in South Carolina in the 1680s...or from sons of Chretien and Cornelia DuBOIS, also Huguenots who emigrated to America in 1660 and settled in New York. This project is intended to provide additional research alternatives for connecting the many branches of these Huguenot families.
