Other FamilyTreeDNA projects that might be of interest to MacLeods:

6/6/2005: University College London [UCL] has just released the Clan MacLeod Modal from their study of 366 male MacLeods (however spelled) from around the world. This is shown in the below:

DYS/VALUE

393/13
390/25
19/14
391/11
388/12
392/13

This should not be given wider interpretation than to indicate that for this particular group of participants, this proved to be the dominant Y-DNA pattern. No inferences should be made that this is "Leod's Y-DNA" or even the "real" MacLeod DNA. It is, however, of interest and serves as a base of information from which our study can move forward.
