A haplogroup is the term used to define one's deep ancestral origins that may pinpoint to a particular region in the world. Coordinating results by haplogroup may:

  1. Reveal a common ancestor between men of different surnames
  2. Indicate deep ancestral origins from a common "founder" ancestor.  
  3. May indicate a particular region of Europe that your Scottish ancestors originated from. Additional information on haplogroup origins is included below. 
Haplogroup J - This lineage originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India.1  J2 is found in Britain, but rarely. It is most common in Eastern European countries, leading to speculation that it is either from gypsy background or, possibly, from Eastern European soldiers stationed in Britain during the Roman occupation in the first three centuries AD.2

The Scotland DNA Project is an independent genealogical research study that is not affiliated with a university.  The study receives no grant underwriting, and participants are responsible for the costs of their own tests.

The project was organized as a cooperative effort among family historians who wish to explore genetic testing to advance their knowledge of deep and recent family backgrounds.
