About us
The purpose of this project is to use DNA evidence to help identify the various Mackin/McMackin/McMechen/McMeekin lines of descent.
Goals of the project:
-
Assist members with understanding their DNA results
-
Group and analyze Y-SNP and Y-STR results
-
Investigate surname origins and migration paths
-
Identify common ancestors and paternal lineages
Female members should ask a male relative who carries one of the project surnames to take a Y-DNA test.
We encourage all members to take a Family Finder test or transfer autosomal results from another company.
