The Cullivan Family DNA Project has started at the Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) company. The project home page is located at:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Cullivan

We have results for one Cullivan male so far. There is another DNA sample being tested this month. The second sample is for a Cullivan whose earliest ancestor was born about 1761 in Aghalackan, Annagelliff, Cavan, Ireland.

If you are interested in joining this project, you can click on the "REQUEST TO JOIN THIS GROUP" link at the top left of the web site. If you'd like further email, you can either post below, or send me an email.

Perhaps you don't know where your Cullivan ancestors originated from. Or perhaps you wish to see how closely your Cullivan line matches other Cullivan lines. In addition, we will be comparing our results to those with other surnames such as Colvin and Coldwell, two names which have been linked to Cullivan in Ireland. If any of these interest you, I encourage you to join the project with a 37-marker test to answer these questions. (The price is $191 if you test your DNA from within this project, a savings of $68.)
