Irish and Scottish Todd DNA Final Report

January 2011

After almost a year of studying the Scottish and Irish Todds and laboriously recruiting DNA samples and raising funds, we now have sufficient DNA results to report our findings.

This has been a very ambitious project seeking to answer questions about Irish and Scottish origins that Todd family historians have puzzled over for decades.  The DNA technology that came with the new millennium has given us the chance to make new discoveries about the genetic linkages between American, Irish and Scottish Todds.

Below are the reports including maps of Scotland and Ireland showing where the DNA samples were recruited and the DNA patterns found.
