The home pages normally contain minimal info but have a link to the project administrator who can answer queries. Result pages can usually be viewed by clicking on the Y-DNA results button and selecting one of the top 2 options.

There is a listing in the ISOGG Wiki of geographical projects from all over the world which includes these European projects and many more. You can find the listing here:
