We are seeking members to join a new FTDNA project called the Noble-Ulster/Borders Family Finder Project. This Project is a study of the Noble (and other genetically related) surnames that are based on the Y-Chromosome (Y-DNA). We invite women to participate in the Y-DNA testing by having a male Noble relative take the test. The Project is designed to test the origins of members of the Noble surname who came to populate the Ulster/Border regions of the UK. That is, along the English/Scottish Border, including descendants of 'transplants' to Ulster (particularly the counties of Cavan, Down, Fermanagh, and Tyrone), the United States, Canada, Australia, and around the world. Specifically, our primary interest is Nobles of R-DF27 descent.  The purpose of the project is to attempt to learn things through DNA testing that it has not been possible to learn due to the dearth of records prior to about 1800.  For more information, please see https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/noble-ulster-borders/about.  Feel free to re-post this information so it can be seen by other relevant groups to which you belong.
