BARRON PROJECT Y-DNA CLANS

Within the Barron Y-DNA Project, there are currently 178 individuals who have done Y-DNA testing.  Of these, 149 have been grouped into 15 distinct, unrelated Clans, and 29 Individuals are so far "Unassigned".  Click here to see details for each clan and its members, and for unassigned members. Interestingly, a majority of the unassigned participants and all but one of the Clans descend from Haplogroup R-M269.
