DNA

There are currently three DNA projects related to the Clay family.

There is the American based  Clay family  Society,  familytree DNA Project which trys to locate the links between English Clays and early American Clays.

The Clay Society of England, Anglo- American DNA research project which is hoped will provide targetted  genealogical descendants of both English and American Clays to link into the Clay family tree DNA project.

The third DNA project which has yet to be launched is the  Society of Anglo-French Clays DNA Research Project. This will trying to establish links betweeen the Clays of England and the Clays of France and if successful will establish England as the middle position between America and France. However DNA testing for genealogical purposes is not legal in France and this may pose a significant future problem.
