Joanne Cameron of the Manawatu Branch, together with Loraine Smith in Canada, are the administrators of the Clan Cameron YDNA Project .The Project is International in scope and has two administrators who oversee the entire Project. Joanne, and Loraine, are supported by many of our Manawatu and New Zealand branch members who have tested their DNA
The Project is open to all Cameron men who are wanting to discover their Cameron origins and they can do so by starting with a Y37 STR test from Family Tree DNA https://www.familytreedna.com/products/y-dna
