We are inviting Y O U to participate in our McDADE-DNA
Project which we are expecting to be a valuable asset to our
paper trail research to show how our various McDADE lines
throughout the world may be connected thru :
1. your direct participation if you are a direct line McDADE male
descendant (direct male in your McDADE line all the way back to your
earliest known McDADE ancestor, including yourself) by participating in
the DNA testing.
OR
2. your indirect participation (because you are or became a male
descendant of a McDADE daughter at some point in your McDADE line OR are
a McDADE daughter) by finding the fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews,
cousins that are direct line male McDADE descendants in your family and
urging them to participate under 1. above.
First, if it is at all possible, please participate in the 25 marker
test as this gives us a much better analysis of the known, possible,
or potential relationships.
Each and every participant is an important link in connecting our various
lines whether our ancestor was an early arrival in the 1600's or 1700's
or a later arrival in the 1800's or 1900's in Australia, Canada,
England, New Zealand, USA, etc. Our ancestors may have come directly
from Scotland or via Ireland, but with McDADE as the primary spelling,
we are probably all cousins in one way or another.
You may contact me at any time if you have questions. There is no medical
connection with any of this, just a check on the male DNA markers that
are passed father to son almost intact for many generations, with an
occasional mutation.
It is especially important to have a male participate (regardless of age)
if the male is the only or one of two male McDADE descendants of a
father, grandfather or great grandfather. Unfoutunately, the daughters
can not do this for this particular easy, efficient, and economical test.
I hope you will participate in the launching of this great project for
our McDADE's everywhere.
Please inform others you feel should be contacted or send me names,
e-mail addresses, and or snail addresses and phone numbers for other
McDADE kin.
I can't wait to see how our markers reveal our potential relationships,
especially if many of you will select the 25 plus marker DNA test.
