Description
Welcome to the Menzies DNA project!
All Menzies descendants and associated surnames are invited to join this page and access our results to help in personal research. If you are or know a male descended directly from a paternal line with the surnames in this project, we encourage participation by ordering a 37-marker or above Y-DNA test through Family Tree DNA. The more people who test, the more we can define the lineages associated with the names in this project and improve the science behind human DNA studies.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
