BASICALLY--- there are TWO projects with a conclusion--- one for the Monroe line of the mother that the CLAN MUNRO hasa been working on and have now announced and then the DNA of Marilyn's identifying her ( Marilyn Monroe 's) BIO FATHER:
Who were Marilyn Monroe's biological parents?
Before adopting her stage name, the star had used the last names Baker (belonging to her mother's first husband) and Mortenson (belonging to her mother's second husband).

The actress's mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, had ancestral links to Scotland and Clan Munro.
"The origins of name Munro has puzzled historians for generations,” modern day Clan chief, Hector Munro of Foulis, told the BBC.
"Tradition has it that we were mercenary soldiers from near the River Roe in Derry, Northern Ireland, hence the name Munro - Mac an Rothaich in Gaelic. But it had proved impossible to verify."
Monroe’s mother Gladys could trace her father’s line back to John Munro, a prisoner of war exiled to America after the Battle of Worcester during the English Civil War in 1651.
No Munro men who shared the same signature pattern of the male Y chromosome had been found in Scotland, so the link to the Highland clan was uncertain.
Now, the Clan Munro DNA project has finally proved that Marilyn’s forefathers were related to a Munro family from the Moray village of Edinkillie, near Forres.
