Background

Welcome to the Clan MacTavish and associated families DNA project.  Clan MacTavish is an Ancient Scottish Highland Clan with its historic seat at Dunardry, near Knapdale, in Argyleshire, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. The Clan had, and has today, many associated families with surnames including MacTavish, Tavish, Thompson, Thomson, Stephenson, Stevenson, Cash, Todd, Holmes, and other variants of these.  See www.clanmactavish.org for more possible name variants and further information.  Families associated with Clan MacTavish are known to have emigrated to Canada, the United States, Australia, and elsewhere.  This project, started October 2011 is designed to help current and potential members of Clan MacTavish make family connections and study genetic interrelationships.
