Genealogists interested in researching their Scottish roots will soon have a new resource thanks to a new genealogy center created by the
This testing will be done by mouth swab and will be conducted in a new forensics lab built at the University. The center will use both Y-chromosome and mtDNA results to build their database. Researchers at the University hope that the center will eventually be able to build a genetic map of the clans of
The center will also involve the genealogy company Scottish Roots Ltd. and the 1745 Trading Company, a sales and marketing firm.

I had the 12 marker done recently by National Geo and am pending the 37 marker at Family Tree DNA. I have been struggling to understand, but if I do then my DNA should have a Scot clan connection although my family has been in Cornwall a very long time. Can anyone educate me on the meaning of

John, I recommend trying some of the following steps: research your haplogroup to learn more about the roots of that group. Does your haplotype belong to a certain sub-haplogroup?
Also, I would recommend comparing your haplotype to the haplotypes of others. Set up a profile at Ysearch or Ybase and then try to find matches.
And finally, there is a Dyer DNA Project (a simple google search will locate it at Worldfamilies) with a lot of Dyer participants. Does your DNA match any of those Dyers? I would recommend joining that group.
Good luck!
