Hello and welcome to the projects, which were launched August, 2012. We are glad to have Hourihanes in all varieties join us. We want our Irish friends, neighbors and relatives the Horans, Horgans, Horrigans, and Hanrahanes to join us. What surprises will we find in our DNA?
Our website here at World Families is under construction. (Being a new project we have no data yet.) In addition we have a support website
The O'Hourihane DNA Projects, which contains the project background, goals, a surname distribution map, and some other goodies.
If you need an ultra-beginner guide on Y-DNA testing, and what aspects are applicable to Ireland, try this link:
A Basic Guide to Y-DNA Testing for Ireland Projects.
To order a test, please use the Forum link at the top of
our World Families page to benefit World Families. Thanks!
