One of our family members, Doris McClenny Boiesen, very generously  provided startup funds for DNA (DNA is the Gene in Genealogy) testing of seven (7) male family members, one each from branches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 14. You may notice we only list six (6) branches.  The reason for this is that one branch was determined to not be related to the others tested.  The most recent test was completed during the July, 2005. 

If you would like to learn more about the DNA testing program, click on Doris McClenny Boiesen and send her e-mail. Our family members had their DNA tested by the lab at:

Family members of our other branches are encouraged to participate in DNA testing.  Please share your finding with us so we can publish the results here on our website. I believe the cost of testing is approximately $180 for each person tested. What better way to find out if your branch is related to the others?

How does the DNA testing work? You receive a kit in the mail that contains a couple of cotton swaps, which you simply wipe inside your mouth, place in a tube and return to the testing facility. Results are generally returned to you within one month.

Technically speaking, the Y chromosome is passed from father to son unchanged, except for a mutation about every 500 generations. Testing the Y chromosome will provide you with a genetic finger print consisting of 12 or 25 numbers. By comparing this finger print to others with your surname, you can determine if they are related. The objectives of these tests are to:

Identify family branches who are related
Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors
Tear down brick walls in our research
Determine possible opportunities for further research
Validate existing research

DNA Participants to date:
  According to the DNA test results, the following groups are related:
   
Branch 1 Ernest B. McClenny
Branch 2 Anthony Gary McClenny
Branch 3 M. Lee McClenny, Jr.
Branch 4 Charles R. McClenny
Branch 5 Lennis R. McClenny
Branch 14 Tyrone Clenney
   

The below information details the DNA matches and indicates the number of generations back
in which the various family branches share a common relative.  That is if I understand correctly.
