Welcome to the McCabe Y-DNA Surname Project. Project administrators for the Family Tree DNA McCabe project in past years include: Dr. James M. Freed (1939-2019), Judith Miley Freed, and Jeremiah O'Neal. In 2023, the project administrators are: Hugh McCabe, Judith Freed, and Robert McCabe. Please feel free to communicate with the project administrators by email or with other project members on the “Activity Feed”. FTDNA also has a great "help" system., and they are always willing to answer questions if you phone them. If you are new to the group, please consider posting your family tree (or what you know of it). If you wish for administrators to view your results, please make certain your “Access” is either “Limited Access” or "Advanced Access". Any less access does not allow administrators to look at your results and place you into a group in the McCabe project. This project focuses on males with the surname (or suspected surname) of McCabe, Cabe, or Mecabe worldwide. Using a Y-DNA test, only males should be tested who suspect that they have an ancestor with the surname of McCabe, Mecabe or Cabe. Women can participate by having YDNA testing of their father or grandfather or brothers or uncles who have the surname of McCabe, Cabe, or Mecabe. It is recommended that males take the Y-DNA 67 or 111 marker test although the 37 marker test would provide hints if you are not sure of McCabe ancestry. After receiving results of the test, use the email addresses listed with your matches to communicate with other members in the McCabe Y-DNA project.
