John: Our "R320" website is listed below. Three surname variations include descendants from the "Scottish Plains" or "Scot-Irish." Sorry only the Riddick variation has excellent paper documentation (Galloway). Reddoch appears to come from West Lothian areas, Reddick from there and Galloway-Dumfries, Ayrshire and Lanarkshire. Our set of results can be seen at our webpage, Scot ancestry identified: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Reddick%2Dr320/ Our "Haplogroup" for Scottish descendants appears to be "I" and "R1b."

Here is a brief outline of the Scottish DNA project components. There are 4 components to the total Project: a: The testing at Family Tree DNA. If you requested the DNA kit through our project then I get access to the records. Your records are then compared to the other records and a notice of a match is sent to you automatically. You can also request to join the Scottish DNA project from another project so your records are then compared with the other test results in the Family Tree DNA database. We do not automatically include any of those records in our database until the person submits them to Marsha and gives us permission to publish them. b: The mailing list as administered by Lauren Boyd c: The Web site as administered by Charlotte Braun. Lots of records, genealogy trees, advices, and misc information. d: The "database" as administered by Marsha. This is then posted on the private web site for everyone. We do this since it is only accessed by people we know and not just the general public ( ala a general web site). There has been suggestions to develop a public web site and code the responses for privacy. I have exchanged data with the Reivers project and others that have secure and private methods to either control access or code the results so it is not just in public domain. I'm still looking for some help on the analysis side ( Excel experts) that can run Fluxus or other programs to compare results and establish comparative results. Thanks again to Charlotte, Marsha, and Lauren for all their assistance in their respective administration of the project. Best Regards John A Hansen Scottish DNA Project Manager.
