Background

We are conducting a McQueen DNA Study. The study is open to all participants of the McQueen, MacQueen, McQuinn, clan affiliations and variant names.  We currently have a list of 50+ spelling and transcription error variations. [When we refer to McQueen, I am including all variations]

 

Our initial objective was to prove/disprove a relationship between Charles McQuinn (c1740-1796) of VA and Wilkes County, NC; John McQueen (c1733->1808) of Culpeper and Fauquier Counties, VA and Alexander McQueen (<1707-c1780) of Spotsylvania, Orange and Culpeper Counties, VA. 

 

Since the time of inception in late April 2006, as the project (and our curiosity) grew, we expanded our objectives.  Some of the study's added objectives:

  

  1. Prove and/or disprove relationships within various McQueen genealogies with special interest to the pre-18th century immigrants and the Jacobite rebels

 

  1. Confirm variant surnames as part of the McQueen family

 

  1. Supplement, strengthen and verify conventional genealogical research

 

  1. Locate new avenues of research for those who have reached "dead-ends" by introducing new relationships and areas (localities) to research

 

  1. Connect with other McQueen families worldwide

 

  1. Locate our McQueen origins

 

The study currently has 80 participants representing 15 different lineages.  The lineages include:

Alexander (above),

Dugal McQueen of MD;

Daniel McQueen of SC; 

John McQueen of KY; 

Daniel McQueen of NY & OH;  

Robert McQueen of PA; 

and other various McQueen lineages. 

 

We are specifically targeting participants based on preliminary test results.
