The purpose of the We Are Cousins DNA Project

Our purspose is to identify the YDNA of the progenitors of the many Hispanic surnames of Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and South Texas. This project will also focus on identifying the mtDNA of their wives.

Goals of Our Project

1. Group everyone who has tested with FamilyTreeDNA and who also, have deep ancestral roots in Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Texas.

2. Identify participants who have tested their Y-DNA and sub-group them by paternal surname based on their genealogical (family tree) information.

3. Identify participants who have tested their mtDNA and sub-group them by Haplogroup based on their genealogical (family tree) information.

4. Generate reports and or publish articles with DNA findings and genealogical discoveries.

Main Goal: This research will lay the foundation and ground work that will help us extend other paternal and maternal lines to these early settlers of the region.
