Her fund now has $600. 12 Y test cost $59, so funds enough for about 10 kits for male McKay who descend from Robert Mackay Sr.I have set up a Donation Fund in the name of my grandmother Daisy Love McKay with Family Tree D.N.A under the name Mackay of course.
I wish they had an accounts for "our" Sowers, Kerfoot & Lehew families, but they do not.
I hope females who were born McKay in "our family" will consider ordering a starter kit from the company. At this point I have no idea if or now their Mitochondrial D.N.A. kits are posted to the public. If you take advantage of the fund, I do hope you post the results on Michael's site.
If I see good results I will add monies as we go along.
We do not care if all from the same line, it would be nice to find a male from Zachariah McKay line, but I have Autosomal Matches from his line.
The company is Family Tree DNA, just type in www.familytreedna.com
Click on Project for Mackay and follow the path to ordering your free test.

Its not a hard thing to do. Ancestry has kits as well if you have account with them. Just a phone call will set you up.
