In the Griffiths Valuation of Ireland [www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/] (started 1840, published over 17 years 1847-1864) the Upritchard-Uprichard-Bridget surname group is concentrated in the Lurgan_Gilford area of Counties Armagh and Down. Publication of the Valuation cast the spelling of many names almost in bronze but changes did occur as evidenced in later valuations and other documents. If the correct people have been identified from old documents, particularly church registers, my family has changed from Oprichard to Uprichard to Bridget then back to Uprichard and finally Upritchard, as in the valuation. I therefore hypothesise that these surnames can be linked by Y-DNA as well as by proximity.
My project is to to encourage Upritchard, Uprichard, Pritchard, Bridget and other like surname males to do y-DNA tests to establish genetic links between the surnames. Next step would be to determine the number of generations back to a common ancestor(s) - with some expert help !. If we pick up autosomalDNA and mtDNA clues along the way and get sidetracked, so much the better.
Regrettably there is no common file download format agreed on by all DNA analysis companies to enable DNA profile sharing, so additional tests need to be done with companies such as Ancestry in case cousins have tested with them. I have found it extremely difficult to determine exactly how many testing companies there are, but when you start digging, there are a lot.

I am an avid WikiTree G2G reader and really enjoy the comments, but the rest of WikiTree is rather complicated and lost on me. I don’t monitor my profile and seldom use my WikiTree tree as the DTC sites, particularly MyHeritage, are easier to use. For example, Maria has listed 7 teams, but it is not clear to me which I should join or could assist with. Age is also a barrier, as these communications fade from memory. Many thanks for your kind help. Alan
I wrote to you in May about the restructuring of the Ireland Project. I dont seem to have received a reply. In the circumstance I presume you no longer wish to be a member of the Ireland Project. Well be sorry to lose you, but unless I hear from you by the end of July I will delete the active Project member badge from your profile.
Thanks for all the previous contributions you have made to the Ireland Project.

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-
? Can you let me know if youd like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) youd like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the projects Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.
Many thanks,
Maria
Ive added the Irish Roots Project badge to your profile. If you click on the badge it will take you to the full list of our wonderful members. Click on Irish Roots Project will take you to the first page of the project. I've added your good self to the member interest page. Here you can let others know which counties or names you are researching etc.
Thanks for joining the project and good luck with your research.
You may also be interested in joining our DNA Project https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

Thanks for your interest in the County Armagh sub project for Irish Roots. We're in the process of getting organized and I'll be in touch soon! I've added you and your research interest to the list of participants on the space:County Armagh Sub Project page. Amy
This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
As always, your questions are welcome!

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.
There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.
Please let one of us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
You've been here for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Dont hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
PS Good work so far, keep it up! Have you had a chance to see on your ancestors profiles on the bottom right is "Research" where you can find sources and more information? Give it a try sometime!
It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.
As always, your questions are welcome!

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.
Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Edit a Profile.
As always, your questions are welcome!
