SHIELDS Family with roots in Ireland or perhaps Scotland. My Shields family
were in Hamilton Co. to Butler Co. to Preble Co. to Darke Co., OH

I am trying to initiate a SHIELDS yDNA Study Project for genealogy. I am
writing to inform you of our hopefully upcoming project that may be of
interest to you. These types of projects are becoming popular among
genealogists in helping to trace family lines and make family connections.
Perhaps you are already aware of such projects. If not, perhaps you would
like to check out this informational webpage:
http://www.duerinck.com/mystory.html

and here is a webpage listing many of the surnames presently involved in
projects:

We are in need of SHIELDS surnamed males for this project who would be
willing to be testees. If we can obtain at least 6 SHIELDS men willing to
participate, I can implement a group and we then can receive special pricing
for these tests. At the present I have 4 volunteers.

For additional information, please go to this webpage "Under Construction"
that I am setting up should our SHIELDS PROJECT take effect. Some of the
links work at this time which will give you additional information.
Remember long URLs are frequently truncated coming through e-mail so you
will have to copy and past to your browser window...all the way to and
including "xxx.html"

0DNA%20HOME.html

If you are a SHIELDS male interested in volunteering, please contact me at
this time. You cannot join yet via the website until I have enough
volunteers to initiate the study. If you are a female researcher, perhaps
you have a SHIELDS father, husband, brother, uncle, or cousin who might be
willing to help us. Thank you for your time.

Audrey
