Ever wondered if there’s a famous name hiding in your family tree?
The well known people below have joined the Great North of Ireland Family Tree project. They agreed to take an autosomal DNA test and to let NIFHS research their ancestors and add them to Wikitree. Some also took Y and/or mitochondrial tests too.

Not a DNA match? You might still be connected!
Our Famous Faces’ family trees have been added to WikiTree. As profiles of living people are only public if they are categorised officially as notable, we have provided a link to ancestors in their family tree whose profile is publicly accessible so you can see if you are connected.
If you have added your tree to Wikitree , you can use the Connection Finder on that site to see if there is a link to you!
