Background

Welcome to the Clan MacLean / MacLaine Y-DNA Project. The project is an effort to learn more about the origins of the clan and it’s various branches. The project is open to all male MacLeans / MacLaines and all spelling variations world-wide.

The family’s ancestral home is on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides but members ended up in all parts of the world.

Additionally all males bearing surnames of recognized septs of the clan are encouraged to join as well.
