Public
The public web pages are accessible to everyone and can be found by searching for ‘McMahon project dna results’. This brings up ‘About Us’ (which you are reading), ‘DNA Results’, ‘Surnames’ and ‘Activity Feed’. Of most interest are the ‘DNA Results’ which consist of:
- Classic Chart, including subgroup, kit, ancestor name, and haplogroup (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mcmahon?iframe=yresults)
- Colorized Chart, including subgroup, kit, ancestor name, and haplogroup (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mcmahon?iframe=ycolorized)
- Map (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mcmahon?iframe=ymap)
- SNPs, including kit, ancestor name, and haplogroup (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mcmahon?iframe=ysnp)
