Name - John A Creer BSc JP
Member - ISOGG, GoONS and the Cheshire and Manx Family History Societies
Day Job - I am a retired pharmaceutical company director with a science background. I live in Cheshire, but my paternal family line comes from the Isle of Man. In the 1500’s the family name was McCrere.
What is your involvement with genetic genealogy?
I am the coordinator of the Creer One-Name study as well as the Creer Y-DNA and Manx Y-DNA projects, and have been using DNA testing and analysis in support of my family history interests since 2005.
So what will you be talking about?
The presentation will illustrate my personal journey of discovery into my own Manx family history and show how the use of several types of DNA testing and analysis (Y-DNA and autosomal) have answered questions and solved problems, that the conventional paper sources and records available could not!
The presentation will illustrate my personal journey of discovery into my own Manx family history and show how the use of several types of DNA testing and analysis (Y-DNA and autosomal) have answered questions and solved problems, that the conventional paper sources and records available could not!
The talk will conclude by looking
forward to the new levels of understanding into our families’ past that are
being gained through Y-SNP testing, with specific reference to the Creer and
Manx Y-DNA studies. This may, in time, reveal more about the shared earlier
Celtic (and Viking?) history of the Irish and Manx people.

What DNA tests will you be discussing?
Y-DNA mainly, but also autosomal DNA

John Creer is the first person to complete a Y-DNA project. Having exhausted all documentary resources, John turned to Y-DNA to help him break through the Brick Wall he had with his Creer line, and when that didn't provide the answer, autosomal DNA did. In so doing, John has traced the genetic ancestry of every Creer alive today.
