Isle of Lewis DNA exhibits distinct characteristics, setting it apart from the broader Scottish gene pool. As descendants, we inherit genetic traits from various lineages traced back to our Lewis grandparents (or x great). Unfortunately, many standard genealogists lack the expertise to fully grasp the complexities of researching and analyzing individuals with Lewis DNA.
While they may assist in constructing basic family trees/charts (from scratch) but for those originating from Lewis, their understanding often falls short and confused. It's essential to recognize that common Lewis surnames like Macdonald, Morrison, Macleod, Murray, Macaulay, Maciver, and others do not necessarily indicate a shared familial origin or connections to a chiefly line.
To unravel the intricate connections within Lewis DNA, specialized expertise is required. Only a professional genealogist specializing in Lewis (and the Outer Hebrides) DNA and family trees can provide a comprehensive understanding of our genetic heritage and how we are all interconnected.
With over 30 years of exclusively genealogy for all Lewis descendants, we can sort out family tree / your DNA matches, unravel mystery's, brick walls and narrow your adoption research to a specific area or village.
