DNA testing is a new and exciting tool for genealogists.  It enables people to get an idea of how closely they are related to those of the same last name.  The Ramsey/Ramsay DNA Project focuses on testing males of the last name Ramsey or Ramsay.  The results are compiled together with the results from other Ramsey/Ramsay males and we get an idea of who is related to whom, and ultimately we can link different lines together.  But to do that, the project needs lots of people to participate.  If you have questions about the DNA testing, visit the Family Tree DNA site for more information.  To see the results so far, visit the project's results page.  Contact the project leaders via the project home page if you are interested in participating.  We need you!

Members of Clan Ramsay interested in the DNA testing may request a free heritage evaluation prior to investing in a DNA test. With over 100,000 individuals in the private Ramsay/Ramsey data base, it may be possible to link your heritage file with Ramsay/Ramsey families already DNA tested. Not only will this help speed up your research, but it may save you the cost of the DNA test. If you are not currently a member of Clan Ramsay, you can find the membership application on our web site. Once we receive your application and pedigree chart, we will check to see if you have any “cousins” in our data base. The DNA Project Administrator and Clan Ramsay Member will contact you with the results within two-four days.
