Description
Welcome to the McGeachie surname project. The project is open to all males with the McGeachie (and related) surnames in any of the variant spellings.
The purpose of the project is to connect clan members from around the world who have an interest in their shared paternal genetic heritage.
The main goal of the project is to help members with their genealogical research by identifying shared ancestors and family groups.
Individuals with different surnames but who believe their ancestors share a McGeachie connection either through Autosomal, MtDNA or Y-DNA are also welcome to join the project.
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.
