The purpose of the MacKenzie Surname DNA Project is:
•To identify others who are related and to bring together related people who over time may have scattered to many countries around the world.
•To assist MacKenzies of various spellings and other historically related groups to find cousins, determine family location and movement, and determine clan branch or cadet line.
•To help people prove or disprove theories regarding their family history or ancestry with the additional resource of dna.
•To give participants another tool to help with breaking down brick walls in genealogical research.
•To investigate through DNA the deep ancestral roots of the MacKenzie clan.
•To share with other project managers information on Scottish Highland genealogy.
