Filling in the gaps

Another panel of results in for Doug (F-14), showing that his particular line of Archibald and Jane (BLAKEY) FAIRBAIRN have two markers differing from his "cousin" Martin (F-1). As these markers are uniquely his over all of lineage one, they have to typify this particular line.

World Families Network Results page updated - also reflecting the confirmed haplogroup for Tom (F-13).

Another kit ordered yesterday, bringing our totals to:

• 14 having some/most of their results in,
• 1 in progress no results yet,
• 1 a replacement kit en route to the one that swam and didn't make it to the lab, and
• 1 newly ordered one,

a total of 17.

More participants most welcome however as we still haven't "joined the dots" on how Lineage 1 in particular "fits" together, although all are obviously related to some greater or lesser extent.
Keep checking out the Wanted! page for assorted lineages that are particularly needed.

Another Lineage 1 match

Do so love it when a theory is proved correct!
The preliminary 12 marker matches have come in for Doug (F-14) a proven descendant of an Archibald (born Scotland) and Jane (born England) FAIRBAIRN via their son Robert, miller of Vegreville, Alberta.
The death cert of Walter, believed to be a brother of Robert, show his mother as nee BLAKLEY, which trail leads back to the Archibald FAIRBAIRN and Jane BLAKEY who married in Northumberland in 1841. This marriage cert. shows Archibald as the son of a gardener, another Archibald. The age of Archibald Jnr matches the baptism of the Archibald born to Archibald and Janet (SCOTT) FAIRBAIRN, forbear of Martin (F-1), and is the only Archibald son of Archibald that I know of in this timeframe.
Results page has been updated, and the supplementary pages will follow as time permits. Could take a while as this means quite a bit of reshuffling to assign Archibald into his correct slot and tidy up several duplications.

The activity on updating all the implications from this welcome match have rather halted further inclusion of the family of Ralph Archibald RICHARDSON into the Wanted! pages, and pedigree onto the Patriarchs page, although a stub does now exist on the latter.

Next kit back at lab

Another of the issued kits has made it to the lab, so patience while we await the results for Doug (F-14), descendant of Archibald & Jane (BLAKEY) FAIRBAIRN, which Archibald's father Archibald, may or may not be the son of Archibald and Janet (SCOTT) FAIRBAIRN.

More participants in the project are welcome, especially if you belong to any of the families on the Wanted! page - but we're not fussy, we'll accept ANY FAIRBAIRN/FAIRBURN/FAIRCHILD wanting to see where he fits in the overall scheme of things.

Lineage added

The lineage for our newest recruit, Doug (F-14) has been added to the Patriarchs page.
As noted on his ancestor Archibald's page, given Archibald was a blacksmith, I wonder if he'll turn out to be one of the Ednam smiths who moved south (then West somewhat, to Ontario).
Given Jane was head of the household in 1871 in Erin, Wellington Center, Ontario, I presume Archibald died sometime between 1860 and 1871, probably prior to compulsory registration in 1869.

New recruit

Our 14th kit has just been ordered, for a representative of the line of Archibald & Jane (BLAKEY) FAIRBAIRN who emigrated to Ontario (yes another one).
(Lineage yet to be posted).
Results page has been updated to show the two latest kits in progress, and to add a confirmed haplotype for Joe (F-10), which is, of course, I1.

Full 67 markers in for F-8, Lineage 1

F-8's full 67 marker results are now in, and I've shuffled the result table a tad to align him better with his closer matches.
I'm still calling this a sub branch of Lineage 1, but would welcome anyone to interpret how close, or otherwise they all look now (bearing in mind the explanations on the Genetic Distance numbers from FT DNA in an earlier post)!

Have hopes of a candidate from the line of Archibald and Jane (BLAKEY) FAIRBAIRN, all going well (yet to be added to the Wanted! page)
