Project Background:
The Allan surname (spelled with an "a") is associated primarily with the Scottish Clanranald of the McDonald Clan (i.e., Clan Donald). Additionally, it is associated with Clan MacFarlane, Clan MacKay, and Clan Grant. Sons of the Chief of Clan Grant took the surname MacAilean (Gaelic) but eventually converted that to Allan. The Allen surname (spelled with an "e") is considered an English surname. In Ireland and the Hebrides, the Gaelic name MacAileain is commonly anglicised as both Allen and Allan, with and without the prefix. There have been matches in our Family Tree DNA project between Allan's and Allen's, indicating common ancestry.

DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members
* Haplogroups in green have been
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have
been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the
individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease
and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for
ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then
we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the
kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider
ordering a SNP confirmation test.
