CLAN DONALD surname project for MacDonald and related septs:
Permit MacDonalds(all spellings) and other Clan Donalds to trace their
ancestor to Scotland or Ireland, find cousins, determine family location and
movement, determine if they are descended from Somerled in their purely paternal
line, and determine clan branch or cadet line.
A second objective is to obtain reference point information from persons with
known lineages willing to share their crucially important information for the
benefit of other Clan families. Those persons may also wish to confirm or
clarify written sources concerning their lines.
Non-MacDonald name participants (any spelling) should
have some belief that their ancestor originated in historic Clan Donald lands:
i.e. the western Highlands of Scotland including Kintyre to Ross, the
Inner or Outer Hebrides, or Ulster or Leinster in Ireland or County Derry.
Note: Murphy families from Sumter Co Ga and VanZandt Co TX were descended
from Thomas McMurchy of Kintyre Scotland
| Distance | Relatedness | Explanation |
| 0 | Related | Your perfect 12/12 match means you share a common male
ancestor with a person who shares your surname (or variant). These two
facts demonstrate your relatedness, however if your name is one of the
most common surnames, i.e. Smith, Tailor, Miller, etc, (trades or towns)
then we always suggest you utilize our 25 marker test to eliminate the
possibilty of a random surname and random genetic match.
Your perfect 25/25 match means you share a common male ancestor with a person who shares your surname (or variant). These two facts demonstrate your relatedness.

12 MARKERS: You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by only one 'point' on only one marker. For most closely related or same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2. To ensure that the match is authentic you should refine to the 25 marker test. 25 MARKERS: You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by only one 'point' on only one marker. For most closely related and same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are usually either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2 from our first panel of 12 markers, and on the following from the second panel: DYS #'s 458 459 a 459b 449, 464 a-d, which have shown themselves to move most rapidly. The probability of a close relationship is very high.

12 MARKERS: You share the same surname (or a variant) but are off by 2 'points' or 2 locations on just 12 markers. It is only possible that you and another related family members' line each have had a mutation. There are two ways with DNA testing to confirm or deny. One is to test additional family members to search for a line that shows a mutation that is 1 point closer to your sample. The other is to order the Y DNARefine 13-marker panel. Refining greatly enhances sciences ability to determine relatedness -- geared towards the most accurate assessment of the number of generations to a shared ancestor. Only by further testing can you find the person in between each of you...this in 'betweener' becomes essential for you to find, and in their absence we feel you are not related. 25 MARKERS: You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by two 'point' on on from the 25 markers we tested. For most closely related and same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are usually either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2 from our first panel of 12 markers, and on the following from the second panel: DYS #'s 458 459 a 459b 449, 464 a-d, which have shown themselves to move most rapidly. The probability of a close relationship is good, however your results show mutations, and therefore more time between you and the other same surnamed person. |
