Description
Participation in this project is open to people interested in the genetic relationship of families bearing the surnames Livingston or MacLea or any of their variants. The goal of this project is distinguish between various branches of the families and to confirm that there is a gentic relationship between the families with different surnames. A secondary goal is to determine the early origins of Clan MacLea (the Highland Livingston's) and the lowland House of Livingston.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
