About us
The project was split into Y-DNA and mtDNA projects in Spring 2016.
Project goals
• Provide a database of Scottish yDNA test results useful for personal and academic research
• Encourage participants to join a surname, clan or family and relevant haplogroup project
• Enable participants to identify their ancestral origins and make connections with their genetic kin
• Explore interrelationships between clans and families
• To provide education and information on genetic genealogy and Scottish family history research

We advise all participants to join an appropriate surname, clan, family or haplogroup project as the best way to find genetic matches. The Scottish Y-DNA Project aims to support and promote the best possible participation of these projects.
