This group's purpose is to collect data on and better understand the various paternal lineages of Walsh, Welch, Welsh surnamed people using Y DNA and family genealogy data.
To join the Y DNA projects go to either web sites:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Walsh/default.aspx?section=goals
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Welch/default.aspx?section=goals

There are several excellent resources for those interested in understanding more. One is http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walsh/

The intent of this forum is not to replace the other forums and projects. The intent of this forum is very narrow in that it is just collecting and storing Y chromosome data from public DNA projects and correlating that data with the Walsh, Welch and Welsh surname genealogies. The primary data file is a spreadsheet saved under the FILES section of this Yahoo Group.

This forum is intended for those interested in the project goals and focus. Please do not use this group for non-Walsh/Welch/Welsh DNA topics, to advance a cultural agenda or to denigrate people. Those kinds of activities are banned.
