McCrea/MacRae/etc. DNA Results
This project is being maintained by Ken McCrea.
This page presents the results of Y-chromosome DNA testing for the McCrea/MacRae/etc. family (for convenience, I'll just use my own spelling, McCrea, from here on - but the discussion applies equally to all spellings). This project is part of a larger study of the Rea/McCrea family being conducted by Gary Rea. The web site for that project is located at:

The purpose of this project is two-fold. First, to determine what relationships exist between the various branches of the family. There has been much speculation on the origins of this family. This project provides a scientific basis for evaluation the suspected relationships. In many cases, we can expect family traditions concerning the origins of particular McCrea families to be correct. However, this will probably not always be the case.
The second purpose of this investigation is to help McCrea researchers establish links to their early ancestors. Many of the McCrea immigrants that came to North America arrived very early. In many cases, their place of origin has not been passed down through the family tradition. By finding a genetic link to specific groups of McCrea families in Europe, a researcher can bypass the lack of early records that might have provided proof of these relationships.
Markers with their DYS numbers shaded in yellow (in the top row) are “multiple markers,” and are inherited as a single gene. Any differences in these “multiple markers” only count as one mutation.
