For the full history of Clan Donnachaidh visit us at our project website: www.clandonnachaidhdna.org Please understand that this is a collaborative research project. We require the active participation of each member to further this genealogical and genetic study of our surnames and their place in history. We are testing the Y-DNA of males with clan surnames to try and reconstruct the male lineages of clan families. There is not one single Y-DNA test to take but a series of DNA tests to continually dig deeper into our histories. All participants will be included in the ongoing studies and by joining the project; you are giving consent for your information to be anonymously included in ongoing genetic genealogy research. Your personal identity will not be revealed, but your results will be used to better understand the surnames of Clan Donnachaidh as a people and the history of our ancestors.
