About us
Group A McKimmon (Haplogroup R1b2a1)
48720 and 89283: These two McKimmon results are clearly related, with a Genetic Difference (GD) of two at 67 markers. Kit no 89283 traces his ancestry to Gortin, County Tryrone. Kit no 48720 traces his ancestry to James McKimmon, born in 1806, somewhere in Ulster, probably in Country Tyrone. He migrated to North Carolina in 1822, and died in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1866. The lack of paper records means that it is not possible to prove a genealogical link.
179997: This member lives in Australia and believes that his McKimm ancestors originated in Scotland. He matches kit no 48720 with a GD of 7 at 67 markers.
Group B McKimmon (Haplogroup I2b1)
83304: This member also traces his ancestry to County Tyrone, but the DNA proves that he is not related to the members of Group a in the male line.
Group C McKeeman
210267: This member lives in the US and traces his ancestry to Neil McKeeman, born around 1820, probably in Ireland.
Group D McKim
241554: This member lives in the US, and matches another DNA result (not in the McKimmon project) for someone with the surname McKimmey. They have a GD of 3 at 37 markers, which suggests that they are related within the last few hundred years, and that a name change is involved.
107454: This member has the last name of Ray, but matches kit no 241554 with a GD of 0 at 12 markers. It is suggested that upgrading, preferably to 67 markers, would establish whether the match is genuine or coincidental.
