National Geographic Genographic 2.0
The Genographic Project is a multiyear research initiative that uses cutting-edge genetic and computational technologies to analyze historical patterns in DNA from participants around the world to better understand our human genetic roots.
By participating in the latest phase of this real-time scientific project, you can learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible. You will also help support the Genographic Legacy Fund, which works to conserve and revitalize indigenous cultures around the world.
The three components of the project are:
- To gather and analyze research data in collaboration with indigenous and traditional peoples around the world
- To invite the general public to join this real-time scientific project and to learn about their own deep ancestry by purchasing a Genographic Project Participation and DNA Ancestry Kit, Geno 2.0
- To use a portion of the proceeds from Geno 2.0 kit sales to further research and the Genographic Legacy Fund, which in turn supports community-led indigenous conservation and revitalization projects
The Genographic Project is anonymous, nonmedical, and nonprofit, and all results are placed in the public domain following scientific peer publication. For more details, visit: Genographic.nationalgeographic.com/about/

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThere are 2 basic types of Autosomal Genetic Genealogy DNA Tests.
1. The National Geographic Geno 2.0 tests for "Ancient Ancestry" (<1500 AD) and is priced at $199. I recommend people always take this test FIRST because it also test Male Y-DNA lineages, Female mt-DNA lineages, X-DNA.
2. The 23andMe test is for more fine scale "Modern Ancestry" (>1500 AD) and is priced at $99. Find 2nd to 12th cousins with this test.
I am in the R-L371 Y-DNA from Wales.
The R-L371 group purpose is to advance understanding of this Y-DNA Terminal R1b SNP found in Welsh male descendants of this putative 'Ancient British' Hg.
This R1b Y-SNP is also known as: R1b1a2a1a1b3a8; R1b-L371; L371; S300; Y-Position 17165864 (NCBI36); R-17-14-10. The mutation was T>G. R-L371 surnames include: Thomas, Griffith, Jones, Jenkins, Evans, Pugh, etc.
R-L371 had a genesis in NW Wales 1000 years ago and is found now in male descendants living in Wales, England, USA, Australia, Canada, Ireland. R-L371 males descend from upstream / older "R1b" Haplogroups (YBP Years Before Present):
R-M269 / S3 / R1b1a2 4800 YBP France / Iberian Arrival
R-L11 / S127 4500 YBP Wales Arrival
R-P312 / S116 3700 YBP
R-L21 / S145 3600 YBP
R-DF13 / S521 3400 YBP
R-L371 / S300 1000 YBP
R1b men likely came into Wales from a France / Iberian Celtic region. About .1% (1 in 1,000) of Y-DNA tested men in the U.S. are R-L371. In certain NW Wales areas, this percentage could rise to about 1% (10 in 1,000).
The R-L371 "Adam" was likely born in geographically isolated Northwest Wales (perhaps Meirionnydd in Gwynedd county or Anglesey county). This area of NW Wales is also a Welsh homeland for the Griffith and Jones clans.
R-L371 men have a 3 part and rare Y-STR Signature: DYS448=17; DYS456=14; DYS450=10. A "17" at DYS448 is an 'Ancient' indicator.
Take a $199 National Geographic Geno 2.0 DNA test for Y-DNA (incl R-L371), mt-DNA, Autosomal DNA, etc. If you are R-L371+, please email jonesge (at) yahoo.com
Your post is very nice and interesting. Now a days many of channels are open on T.V . People lesson information from these channel. National Geographic is a good, Informative & interesting. This channel show videos about inventions of the world, about animals life & human being. Today peoples have more advance in the world. One person get hard work in his life and make name at top of list of great peoples.
