How to Transfer DNA!

DNA testing can determine if you are related to the Chegau family and the L’nu, Mi’kmaq Tribe if your DNA is a genetic match. YDNA tests the male line, MTDNA tests the female line and autosomal DNA shows the father, mother, grandparents, great-grand-parents, uncles, aunts and cousins up to a fifth cousin level for each of your four grand-parent lines. 

New Participants can join the Chegau Mi’kmaq Family DNA project by testing your DNA with Family Tree DNA or by transferring your DNA results to Family Tree DNA (for free) from AncestryDNA, 23andMe or MyHeritage. Participants can compare genetic matches to the Chegau Mi’kmaq Family DNA Project and kinship relationships to the L’nu, Mi’kmaq Family Tree.
