The Clan MacNaughten DNA Project aims to strengthen Clan MacNaughten bonds and fellowship through the following objectives:

(a) Identify the Y-chromosome signature (the paternal tree) of different MacNaughten lineages.

(b) Through (a), help test-takers to establish the likeliest location where their earliest MacNaughten ancestors would have lived.

(c) Through (a), help test-takers to establish how they are connected to other test takers and to the Clan as a whole, using both genealogical and DNA evidence.
