Background

*** NOTE: On the results page, to see all results set the PAGE SIZE to 4000 and refresh ***

The project welcomes individuals who have a Scottish lineage on their own direct paternal (yDNA) or maternal (mtDNA) line of descent.

For example - father > grandfather > great-grandfather > great-great-grandfather or mother > grandmother > great-grandmother > great-great-grandmother etc.

The project was originally established in Oct 2001 by John Hansen as the Scottish Clans DNA Project, but is now administered by the Genealogical Studies team at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland.
