Y-DNA Explained

Y-DNA Explained

​As with any ancient clan, many details of the history of Clan Barclay have remained shrouded in the mists of time, but lately we are making significant advancements in unlocking the secrets of our past. Documents have become more widely available to our researchers and DNA technology is advancing, yielding exciting results and illuminating our shared story.
 
Our goals at the Clan Barclay International Y-DNA Project include the following:
  • Utilize Y-DNA results of confirmed descendants of various houses and documentary evidence to establish an historic structure of the evolution of the houses of Clan Barclay.
  • Add Y-DNA results of probable descendants of various houses in combination with examination of documentary evidence to enhance historic understanding and to inform the overall structure of the evolution of the houses of Clan Barclay.
  • Use Y-DNA results to place ungrouped people and people unsure of their ancestry as descendants of various houses and apply documentary evidence to assist in the understanding of their personal family trees.
  • Employ autosomal and mitochondrial DNA results to supplement findings.
  • Discover haplogroups and ancient migration patterns of our participants.  

You may be wondering HOW Y-DNA test results can assist us in the above goals. The videos below can be helpful in explaining. If you have further questions, please contact Clan Barclay International.
