    3. I don't often write here, but I am always looking here for new info on my Tyrone McGees. I have just taken the giant leap into genetic genealogy. In order to facilitate this method of finding living relatives to compare and share family trees with, many more autosomal DNA donors are needed. Out of 660 matches, I don't have one match with surname McGee, possibly because my McGees have been in North America since 1798 appx but in Canada we have pretty much fizzled out (not enough sons to keep the surname going.) I would have thought I would have some American McGee matches, but there aren't any at present. I would like to urge everyone to take these autosomal tests and post your results on GEDMatch so that no matter which lab you use, our matches can get in touch with us. Equally important to those of you with living relatives still in Ireland, encourage them to test so we can find each other. Only men can test for yDNA, but autosomal is for both sexes. Pat McGee
