Leprechaun

October 7, 2025

I told my friend I was tracing my roots back to Ireland, and he asked if I found any leprechauns. I said, No, but I found a great-uncle who was a brewer! He laughed, So your family's been chasing pots of gold and pints of ale since the 1800s?

Latest Fun Fact

Y-DNA for Paternal Lines

October 9, 2025

Y-chromosome DNA, passed from father to son, helps men trace their paternal ancestry, often tying surnames to specific lineages. For example, Y-DNA testing can confirm if two people with the surname Smith share a common male ancestor. Projects like the International Society of Genetic Genealogy map Y-DNA haplogroups, such as R1b, prevalent in Western Europe. This tool is especially useful for surname studies or tracing clan affiliations, though its only available to biological males.
