SOMERLED - LORD OF THE ISLES Somerled (c1100-1164), King of Argyll and the Isles, is famous for driving the Vikings out of Hebrides. His dynasty, the Lordship of the Isles, ruled the Hebrides till 1493. Genetic analysis of various Chiefs of Clan Donald with documented descent from Somerled showed that all share the same Y chromosome type, confirming their genealogies. This type is carried by tens of thousands of other men with names like MacDonald and MacDougall. Ironically for a Celtic hero, who forced the Norse out of the west of Scotland, the Somerled Y chromosome type is Norse in origin. EthnoAncestry is pleased to offer a test which determines your relationship to the Somerled haplotype. After submitting your saliva sample we will extract your DNA and test 27 markers on your Y chromosome. We will then compare your results to our company's extensive database and infer your haplogroup. This will not only allow us to recognise if you carry Somerled’s type, but also allow classification into a number of other Y chromosome types, each with a distinctive history. You will receive a certificate in pdf format summarising your results.
