About us
The project is currently looking for individuals with the relevant experience to join as co-administrators of the mtDNA Project. Please email Alasdair Macdonald if you are interested.
The Scottish mtDNA Project welcomes individuals who have mtDNA tested and have an unbroken Scottish lineage on their maternal (mtDNA) line of descent.
For example: mother > grandmother > great-grandmother > great-great-grandmother etc.
Project Goals
• Provide a database of Scottish mtDNA test results useful for personal and academic research
• Enable participants to identify their ancestral origins and make connections with their genetic kin
• Explore interrelationships between clans and families
• To provide education and information on genetic genealogy and Scottish family history research
We advise all participants to join their mtDNA haplogroup project. The Scottish mtDNA Project aims to support and promote the best possible participation of these projects.
