About us
Welcome to the McGraw/Megraw (and variants) Y-DNA Project! Our goal is to explore the genetic history of families with surnames connected to "Mac Craith," including McGraw, Megraw, McGrath, MacGraw, Magrath, and others.
We are particularly interested in participants whose paternal ancestry traces back to the nine counties of historic Ulster: Down, Antrim, Tyrone, Londonderry, Donegal, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan, and Armagh. If you have known or suspected roots in these regions, we encourage you to join. However, even if your origins lie outside these counties or are unknown, anyone with a Mac Craith-related surname is welcome to participate. Every participant helps us deepen our understanding of these family lines.
By joining the project, you’ll gain insight into your own paternal lineage, uncover potential connections with others who share your surname, and help us trace the origins and migrations of Mac Craith-related families. Together, we can document and preserve the genetic heritage of "Mac Craith" families worldwide. Please join us in this unique opportunity to explore your paternal roots and gain valuable insights into your ancestral heritage through advanced genetic testing.
