Welcome to the Clan MacThomas DNA Group website page.
Recent developments in DNA technology allow family relationships to be explored using family tree structures which are built out of genetic information. Also DNA is another source that can be helpful in undertaking standard family history research.
These recent advances, coupled with interest by a small group of Clan MacThomas Society members, offer excellent opportunities for descendants of clansfolk in the following ways:
=
Identify whether or not your Clan MacThomas sept surname lineage is descended from one of the septs of the Clan MacThomas.
=
Possible connection to other MacThomas clansfolk around the world who are shown to be closely related for pooling
genealogical information.
=
Provide a forum for the exchange of information about the use of
DNA for genealogical purposes.
In September 2018 the Council of our Society approved the formation of the MacThomas DNA Group (members only). Council also approved the possible establishment of a Clan MacThomas group within the web site familytreeDNA. One of our members has now established this group.
Please keep watching this page for future news about the Group or contact Clan Sennachie and convenor of the MacThomas DNA Group, Grahame Thom.
