Description
The McCubbin Y-DNA Project welcomes all male McCubbin participants. However, this project is solely for Y-DNA testers of McCubbin or McCubbin related surnames. The surnames in this DNA Project are researched as part of the McCubbin one-name study. You can learn more about this significant research, and the the associated family trees, by visiting the one-name study web site.
A word about Y-DNA the project utilizes: Both males and females possess 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes. This is the type of DNA utilized in FTDNA's Family Finder and most other common commercial DNA tests. Females possess two X chromossomes, and males possess an X and Y chromosome. It is this male Y chromosome that the project focuses on. The Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown. If you believe there is a McCubbin or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate. If you are female, you will need to find a direct line male in your family tree to participate and represent your tree.

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.
