McCall Caithness DNA Project- Background

Background

     Welcome to the McCall Caithness DNA Geographical Project.  This DNA Project is for people that match Caithness McCall DNA and not just people with the McCall surname.  It will require a listing match of all members at the 67 marker and above range.  A few 37 marker people will be included based on family history and DNA matches, this will be based on an individual bases.
     At the moment we can trace our linage back to the mid 1500's.  In addition to this we can trace almost all of the current family branches that started with James MacKall b. 1620, all the way to the present.
