Description
This project is open to all McCaughan's of any spelling anywhere in the world. It will determine if McCaughan's in various parts of the world share a common ancestor and allow them to compare their DNA values to others tested. The test will allow folks with different name spellings to determine if they are related. Members of the same family can share the cost of the test as close family members will have the same DNA results.
In the following list the proper form Mac is used as the prefix on most of these names, the short form Mc and M' has also been widely used down the ages. Mc is most commonly used to this day.
This list was originally supplied many years ago by Chevalier John Alexander McCaughan, D.E., K.H., L.H.G., F.A.S., R.G., O.A.A., F.S.A., Scot. the 29th Head of his House Maceachian/McCaughan.
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.
