General Information / Re: Dalton International DNA Project (DIDP)

The Dalton DNA project just compares Y-DNA test results. 

In any surname project, comparing Y (or male) DNA allows us to look at the relatively small changes (mutations) that occur over long periods of time when Y-DNA is passed from father to son, along the family surname.

Autosomal DNA shows the combined contributions of the father and mother, and is more helpful when looking for more immediate family connections.  It will show connections from all branches of your family tree back to 4th or 5th cousins.  The Y-DNA test and the autosomal test look at very different sections of DNA, so, like the cliche, it's like apples and oranges.

Thank you Karen.

My Ancestry.com is an autosomal test.  This is the only testing that Ancestry.com currently offers. 

It appears that the cost to transfer the Autosomal data to ftDNA is $69. 

Do you know if an autosomal test transferred to ftDNA is then comparable to the those currently part of your project?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for posting your question, since I think there are others who may want to transfer DNA test results from other testing services. 

Yes, you can transfer your test results to Family Tree DNA, the service that hosts our surname project.  There is a $19.00 fee to transfer Y-DNA 33 or 46 results.  This link will take you to the FTDNA site section on transferring test results:  https://www.familytreedna.com/landing/ydna-transfer.aspx

The fee will provide you with a personal page at FTDNA, and will allow our project administrators and our genetic genealogy consultant to view your results, and compare them to others in the project.

If you need more info, or have questions, please just me know.

Greetings. 

I inquired before about the DNA project, but I did not follow up. 

1.  I recently did the DNA test via ancestry.com.  Is there a way to have my ancestry.com results included in this project?

2. I did share my results with GEDmatch.com which allows users of different platforms to share and compare.  If anyone has also done this, I am interested in sharing kit numbers. 

Thank you. 

Peter Dalton

I believe my earliest known Dalton is my GG-grandfather Michael.  He was an Irish-born marblecutter aged 24 in Brooklyn, NY according to the 1850 US Census.

I am seeking information on Princess Jane (daughter of Louis VII) that married Walter Le Sieur DeDalton. This was written about by Edward MacLysaght.

Thank you for your interest in the DNA Project and for posting your question.

For the project, we need to test a male relative who bears the Dalton surname since the Y-DNA we compare is passed with few changes from father to son.  Your sons would not be good candidates for testing.  Their test results would provide information on your husband's ancestry.

If your father is still living, he would be a perfect candidate for testing.  Other options would include a brother, your father's brothers, or a male Dalton cousin.  The important thing is that we test a male Dalton relative who has the Dalton surname.

If you have more questions, I'll be happy to help.

I would be delighted to join the project. I read that you need a male relative to determine which family. I am a daughter of a Dalton, would any of my sons work??
