The French Swiss project at
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/FrenchSwiss/
welcomes men whose paternal lines (father's father etc.):

(1) lived in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The map at
http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/CH/chspra.jpg shows this area in green.

(2) have a surname that held citizenship in a French-speaking Swiss community before 1800 according to the Register of Swiss Surnames at
http://www.hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/index.php?lg=e

Women, and men whose French Swiss ancestry is from non-paternal lines, may participate by recruiting a male relative who meets the criteria above, to supply a DNA sample.

Surnames in the project (so far) include Beno, Bonjour, Botteron, Cellier, Chatelain, Chiffelle, Clenin, Devaux, Franc, Giauque, Girard, Gueniat, Guillaume, Huguenet, Junod, Maillard, Racine, Rollier, Schiffley, Sunier, Tschiffely
