The Finlayson DNA Project is open to anyone with a Finlayson ancestor and a suitable Y-DNA donor who is a direct-line Finlayson. All spelling variations are welcome. Direct-male-line Finlaysons can order a Y-DNA 37-marker test (Y37) or even better, the Big Y. This project's goal is to use DNA in conjunction with traditional genealogy. Providing Finlayson pedigrees will strengthen the scope of this project as there are different lineages. Y-DNA from an appropriate Finlayson male will offer valuable information for your family tree. To date we have participants in the major haplogroups I2 and R1b.
