This Discussion Page is for the Patty DNA project to identify lineages. The project identifies a lineage when DNA tests on two or more men show a high probability that they have a common ancestor since the use of surnames became common. Each lineage has a volunteer coordinator who promotes the gathering of more information about the lineage through further DNA tests and traditional genealogical research. More detail about the lineages is available on the Results and Patriarch pages. A list of all of the updates since the Patty project began in 2007 is at FTDNA Patty surname project on that site’s Results page.  Copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/pattysurnameproject2007/default.aspx?section=results
