A new Scotland DNA Project has been established this week for all those of direct Y-chromosome and mtDNA line heritage. This project was established for those of Scottish heritage that do NOT qualify for existing clan, surname, or geographical projects. This especially applies to ladies and lasses as a home for their mtDNA results. If your results are with Family Tree DNA, you may add them to the Scotland Project by clicking the "Join" button on your "MyFTDNA" page. The project also welcomes results from other testing companies; results from SMGF are already posted on the project website at: http://www.ourfamilyorigins.com/scotland/dna.htm

Kenny: This seems really odd to me. This Scotland DNA project has always welcomed: A: anyone of Scottish descendant ( not restricted to Clans etc) B: mtDNA samples. C: Any Testing company results. ( Marsha converts the results to they are compatible with the Standard Results so they fit in the database. So you are basically lobbying for another project in the midst of a DNA project that already performs the same. In addition, this project provides the mailing list, a web site, and the database.
