Ards Peninsula DNA Project-McAlinden etc.
We have created a new DNA project: The Ards Peninsula Families DNA Project:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ardsdnaproject/http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ardsdnaproject/
Due to the large potential size of this project, we have two web sites. The 2nd web site can be accessed through our "News" tab.
The Ards Peninsula lies in the eastern section of Northern Ireland.
There are numerous historic records in the area for the surnames: McAlindon, McAlinden, McAlindin, McLindon, and McLinden. As such, all of these variations on the surname McAlindin are eligible to join The Ards Project.
So, if you think that your McAlindins etc. might have come from the Ards Peninsula, you might want to check out our website, and consider joining our Ards Project.
Thank you,
