Description
The FTDNA McAlister surname project welcomes all variant spellings of the name. The project is open to all variant spellings of the McAlister name, who wish to determine relationships that might be difficult to prove by using traditional methods of genealogical research and to identity families with a common ancestor. As DNA samples are tested, many family traditions may be proven or disproven, and may require additional research. The expansion of the McAlister DNA project database will increase the probability of connecting individuals to families and families to a common ancestor.
Many of the Clan McAlister of America members have chosen the FTDNA as their DNA testing provider and joined in the McAlister DNA project.
Are you tracing the McAlisters(or variant spellings)in your family line, but you do not share the variant spellings of the surname; then provide the project Administrator with the names of your most distant known paternal and maternal McAlister ancestors with places and dates. If you and the project Administrator agree, then a join authorization will be emailed to you, which will assure that you will be included in the McAlister group and allow you to order DNA tests at group prices.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
