Scottish Surname

It is possible to determine someone's origin by his/her surname. Scottish surnames have a long history and usually are based on either the trade or profession of one's ancestor or on the place of origin. Many UK and US surnames can be traced to a specific location in Scotland. Scottish surnames can be used to determine relatedness between people, however this should also be backed up by a thorough DNA study.

DDC offers several genetic tests which can help people in tracing their genetic origins. Navigate here for more information on DNA and Ethnicity Testing.
