This group is dedicated to researching the family lines of the sons and daughters of our ancient Clan Chiefs. As the male lines of the first sons reportedly went extinct in 1796, we are descendants of "other-than-first-sons-and-daughters" of our Clan Chiefs' wives, mistresses and occasionally a wee bit of afternoon delight...

This is a Y-DNA project. If your account does not have a Family Tree DNA Y-DNA test, please do not request to join.

We do have a separate Johnston Research Group for e-mail discussions working on connecting Johnston families. If you want to join the Johnston Research Group, send an e-mail to Administrator Wesley Johnston (see e-mail address to the left) with the subject "Joining the Johnston Research Group".

The Y-DNA focus is men who are positive for Y-DNA haplogroup I-Y8830 or any of its sub-clades.
