Hi, my name is Rob McFadden. I've been researching my own family and others for several years now. My current focus is researching the origins of the Gaelic surname Mac Pháidín, specifically through Y-DNA testing. I've started a web site (TheMcFaddenProject.com) and I'm also an admin of the McFadden project at FTDNA. We are actively seeking men with the McFadden surname or any variant (McFadyen, etc.). Feel free to contact me with any questions at rob at themcfaddenproject.com or via my Talk Page.
